Here we go with another Mad Magazine fold-in......

It's strange, but I've been using a folding laptop for years....

Oh nice. I do like shiny things

I'm wondering if it uses the same tech for folding as the Samsung Galaxy Fold. That kinda didn't end well.

Why didn't they add a stand of some sort so it can be fully open to use with a separate keyboard/mouse? Working through a fold in a screen has got to be a royal pain... But... first to market.

It ought to, given the space in which to squeeze two large batteries.....

Watching that video, I even think I can see a crease down the screen that Blokie there is holding!
TBH, I'm just bored and chatting cack while doing some file uploads. I lost all genuine interest in the product when I saw the marketing hype phrase "World's First....." :D

I'm still waiting for the 8110 to finally get whatsapp over here without having to hack about with it - the good lady just can't stand touchscreen phones.

They should have stopped this nonsense after Ross Kemp
