TECHNOLOGY IN PRACTICE
FUTURE DESIGN ATHENA

FOLDABLE FUTURE

On the innovative side, Intel rolled out specifications for its next generation
of Ultrabooks, dubbed Project Athena, which will provide all day performance under "real world" conditions, instant resume (less than a second
to wake up from sleep mode including fingerprint or face recognition), 5G
connectivity, quick charge (four hours charge in less than 30 minutes),
and included, for the first time, dual screen specifications. Athena design
will incorporate Intel's latest 10th Generation Ice Lake processors which
are already available on devices including models of HP's EliteBook x360,
Lenvo's Yoga S series and Samsung Galaxy Books. Intel also displayed its
"Horseshoe Bend" concept laptop which points to its promotion of bendable
screens without a seam. Lenovo announced they will actually be shipping
its Thinkpad X1 Fold this summer which was slightly bulkier than we would
want but will probably be the first working entrant into this category to
see if it will take off.

Folding was the rage this year and Dell
also showed off two conceptual laptops
that have dual screens connected by a
hinge that could be utilized in either
traditional laptop mode or flipped sideways to be viewed similar to holding a
book. The Duet appeared to consist of
two separate 13" displays and had an
ultra-thin detachable keyboard that
could sit on top of the screen while the
Ori concept appeared to be made with a
single 12" display that could bend to be
closed to the size of a book. This concept
looked remarkably similar to Lenovo's X1
Fold which includes a wireless keyboard
that can be attached to work similarly to
the traditional laptop or separately so the
entire display can be utilized in either
portrait or landscape mode.
