If it does show off the device at MWC, I\u2019ll be very interest to hear Lenovo\u2019s pitch for why you might need a laptop with a transparent display. I rarely want to see what\u2019s going on behind my laptop when I\u2019m sitting at a desk, and when I do it\u2019s relatively easy to lean to the left or right to peek around it (this isn\u2019t a giant TV screen we\u2019re talking about, after all). My best guess is that a device like this could be pitched for receptionists and other front of house staff who often find themselves talking to customers or guests with a screen in the way, but even then you have to imagine there\u2019ll be potential privacy issues if a screen\u2019s contents are visible from the back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Aside from its transparent screen, the leaked press images of Lenovo\u2019s concept laptop suggest it\u2019ll have a completely flat, touch-sensitive keyboard. There\u2019s also a stylus visible next to one of the devices in Blass\u2019s leaked image, so it feels safe to assume you\u2019ll be able to doodle on its display, and the wallpaper shown on the laptop suggests we\u2019re looking at a Windows 11 machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that if Lenovo does decide to show the laptop concept off at MWC then there\u2019s no guarantee it\u2019ll actually see a commercial release. Last year the company exhibited a rollable laptop at the big tech show which allowed you to push a button and see the regular 12.7-inch landscape 4:3 display extend upwards to become a 15.3-inch portrait 8:9 screen. But since then, there\u2019s been no talk of the laptop getting a commercial release. A part of me wonders if this new transparent laptop concept is destined to go the same route.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
