How expensive is it anyway isn't it just better to get a second monitor if you have to?
I use dual monitors one on top of each other. If I had this I would simply stack 2 windows.
I mean, that demo model looks like a hot mess of ripples and artefacts from this angle.
Eventually we'll get digital newspapers. This is one of the steps to that.
It's a pretty awkward growth so far though.
It could have been so simple: the display on a roll with a spring and a sensor to keep track and rescale the resolution accordingly. You pull at the top to extend the display to x2 and more and be done. Maybe add a scissor at the back to keep the foil without wrinkles. It would have been old-Lenovo-style sturdy instead of the plaything with a motor that breaks after 2 years.
i get this is a first gen but wow that looks awful. so many wrinkles. not mature enough to be revealed yet imo.
This is actually not the first year it's been demoed. Last year it was just a proof of concept. It will take time to work the bugs out.
I mean they are actually selling it now, there shouldn't be bugs like that making it to consumers.
