"it simply rotates, like turning a tablet from landscape mode to portrait. Also: I went hands-on with Lenovo's white ThinkPad X9 at IFA, and it's the coolest laptop yet The display on VertiFlex looks deceptively simple. There are no gestures or remote controls here -- you simply physically rotate the screen with your hands, and it pivots into position, seamlessly swapping between landscape and portrait mode, with the content on your screen automatically adjusting -- just like your smartphone."
"The display is a separate component from the laptop's chassis, allowing it to rotate while the laptop's physical frame remains stationary. In portrait mode, it rests against the back of the clamshell. Again, it looks very simple, but behind the scenes, the mechanics of this feature are complex. During a demo, I got a peek at the engineering at work here, and it's more elaborate than you'd think."
The ThinkBook VertiFlex features a 14-inch display that physically rotates from landscape to portrait by hand, with on-screen content automatically adjusting. The display is separate from the chassis so the laptop frame remains stationary while the screen pivots and, in portrait mode, rests against the back of the clamshell. The underlying mechanical design is complex despite a simple user action. A prior Lenovo rollable laptop expanded to a 17-inch display and reached market, demonstrating experimental designs moving toward production. Some design elements, such as fabric backing, raise concerns about longevity and durability.
