F

oldable-screen PCs were one of the biggest trends of CES 2020, but only

one of the models on display could actually make a passable substitute

for a desktop when it was unfolded. That’s Intel’s “Horseshoe Bend”

prototype, which can open up to a seamless 17.3-inch display that resembles a

small all-in-one PC or a mobile monitor.

The Horseshoe Bend idea is very similar to Dell’s Concept Ori prototype and

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Fold, which is scheduled to go on sale this year. All three

designs have displays that bend in the middle, and all of them can be propped

up on a table with an external keyboard to function as a makeshift desktop

when they’re not connected.
