[Tianji Net Notebook Channel]Dual-screen and folding notebooks surprised many technology enthusiasts for a long time in 2019, and the time came to 2020. At this year’s CES exhibition, many manufacturers "made persistent efforts" and once again exhibited notebook computers with folding screens or dual screens. In addition to Lenovo, Dell has also expanded its territory in this field. Recently, they released a device called "Concept  Ori "folding screen notebook, and a dual-screen notebook" Concept  Duet”。
    At present, these two devices are only concept machines, so the official has not given specific specifications, and more are just used for technical display. Concept  Ori is a folding screen notebook product, which is equipped with a 13.4-inch P-OLED flexible screen. The design director of Dell said that they have spent a lot of effort to solve the hinge design problem of the flexible screen.
    Current folding screen products, such as Samsung Galaxy  Fold and Huawei Mate  X, folding screen will have creases, Concept  Ori is no exception, but the crease is not obvious if it is not on a white background. Current Concept  There are few gestures on Ori, but some media experiences have found that once Concept  When the Ori is folded up, there will be a virtual screen at the bottom for users to input text, which is still very logical.
    Concept  Duet design and Surface  Neo is similar, but the size is much larger, which compromises a certain portability. This device is equipped with two 13.3-inch screens connected by a hinge similar to Lenovo Yoga. Dell also released a physical keyboard that can be placed on the bottom screen, which can be used together to save users from the embarrassing feeling of tapping on the screen.
    Because Microsoft supports Windows&ensp with dual screen/folding devices; 10  X has not yet appeared, and Dell has temporarily developed a set of operation methods suitable for them. For example, you can transfer an app from one screen of Duet to another with a three-finger gesture, or double-click with four fingers can transfer the app  Stretch across two screens. In addition, when you put the keyboard accessories on the screen below, the uncovered part will automatically display the touchpad, making the experience more like a normal notebook.
    Of course, these devices are only prototypes, and all kinds of hardware and software configurations only exist in the theoretical and debugging stages. However, Dell has undoubtedly complied with the trend of double-sided screen/folding screen that may appear in the notebook industry, showing the maturity of hardware, and waiting for the maturity of software more than the launch of the real machine. Perhaps the era of dual-screen or folding screen will come earlier than expected.
