Would you buy one?
The device could be used in multiple ways. When it’s folded into a laptop-like shape, the hybrid’s bottom half could be used as a keyboard. When it’s unfolded, the device could be treated like a large tablet computer. Further, the hybrid could be used with an external keyboard to work as a portable monitor and all-in-one computer.
The device has been in development for a couple of years, but he didn’t make any additional claims about its release window other than to point to what Young had predicted.
Apple would not be the first company to try a foldable hybrid. For example, Lenovo did something similar with the ThinkPad X1 Fold. Designs like this are by no means a mainstream idea yet, though.
A device like this from Apple would likely incorporate some future successor to the M1 chip, meaning it would offer much better performance than offerings like this to date.
