Laptops with folding screens were a big trend at CES 2022, but judging by early reports, companies haven't learned from the mobile industry's early mistakes.
Screens that fold up are already a hot topic in the smartphone world, but at CES 2022 they featured far more heavily on laptops than ever, showing the burgeoning tech is moving beyond small handheld devices. However, while the laptops all look really cool, familiar problems haunt them, making me concerned that the trend is a case of companies misguidedly trying to pique our interest in a new way while the innovation still struggles to find its feet on mobile.
Outside of folding laptop screens, CES 2022 was a show all about screen technology and innovation generally, with Samsung’s 55-inch curved Odyssey Ark gaming monitor snatching our Best of CES 2022 award, Samsung’s QD Display technology coming very close to edging it out, and Lenovo adding an 8-inch screen next to the keyboard on the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3. That’s before we get to crazy concepts like Razer’s Project Sofia desk/monitor mashup.
There’s also the issue of knowing why you’d want one. The big screen/small device advantages are obvious, but what about keyboards, which are so integral to laptops? A peripheral isn’t the most elegant solution. A push to educate buyers about why a folding screen is needed on a laptop seemed to be lacking from companies at CES, and that’s an argument that can still be levied at phone makers today.
