Over the past few years the bezels around laptop screens have shrunk to the point where I’ve stopped paying attention when PC makers claim that they’ve stuffed a 14 inch display into a 13 inch laptop body. That’s just what a 14 inch laptop looks like now. But there’s only so small a laptop can […]

The first mobile PCs with foldable displays are set to ship this year, likely starting with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold with its 13.3 inch foldable screen.
