This dual-screen laptop swings horizontally — and quotes the Whole Earth Catalog

Unlike the Asus Zenbook Duo and Lenovo Yoga Book 9i we reviewed earlier this year, it’s not a twin-screen tablet with a detachable keyboard; this one’s astir decidedly a laptop with a other surface connected a hinge that swings each the mode around. And dissimilar the upcoming GPD Duo, it swings horizontally alternatively of vertically. The institution is calling it the “world’s archetypal horizontally foldable 360 grade laptop.”

While we don’t person a price, merchandise date, oregon afloat spec expanse yet, it seems this laptop isn’t shooting for gaming oregon high-end productivity; it’ll beryllium equipped with a two-year aged 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U processor (we’re expecting 15th gen this fall), 16GB of DDR4 memory, and a 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSD.

It besides lone supports 5Gbps transportation speeds from its USB-A and USB-C ports and HDMI 2.0 alternatively than HDMI 2.1 for its video output. And 1 of its 2 USB-C ports is lone for charging.

Still, determination are tons of tasks that don’t needfully request tons of horsepower but could payment from much ocular existent property — and the 2nd surface isn’t the lone unsocial happening astir this machine!

The Acemagic X1 besides includes, and I quote:

I americium assuming Acemagic doesn’t recognize that Steve Jobs was really quoting the Whole Earth Catalog successful his 2005 commencement speech, but hey, bonus points for countercultural connection written successful gold?

(No, we don’t person a representation of the golden lettering to spot if Steve Jobs’ sanction is besides connected the broadside of this laptop.)
