A cool sci-fi concept, but what’s the killer app?

Lenovo’s concept laptop is real, transparent, and ready to impress::Lenovo’s ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop is a 17.3-inch notebook with a transparent screen and a built-in tablet for you to doodle on.

      I kinda like the idea of the laptop industry coming up with a bunch of wild concepts where only one out of ten is ever useful. The car industry does this all the time.

      If you go to car shows, you’ll see all sorts of cars with a full glass passenger area. They’ll never happen, one reason being that you can’t fit an air con unit strong enough to keep the passengers from cooking on a sunny day, but they’re neat to look at.

      Aesthetic. Like is it good? Probably not. Is it cool? Hell yeah. In my eyes there’s two types of cyberpunk laptops: this, and some old beater running either arch or Debian. Of course Lemmy prefers the latter, but the former is just kinda it’s own variety of cool despite the ludicrous impracticality

        it cant be cyberpunk if it runs on windows. or maybe from a dystopian angle where in future windows is the only os?
