"Underneath the rotating panel is a "soft, felt-covered backplate," PCMag reported. I can see this being jarring in a real computer. The textures of felt or other fabrics are uncommon on machines and can result in this part of the computer standing out in an unwelcome fashion. The black felt, however, could eventually fade into the background, depending on the user's perception."
"Lenovo suggested that people could use the felt space to place a smartphone for mirroring with the PC via its Software Connect software; however, that feature requires a Lenovo Motorola phone. Lenovo suggested other potential use cases for the unique screen in its press release, including "split-screen multitasking, displaying code, and reviewing documents." Lenovo's latest concept laptop continues the OEM's yearslong exploration of PC screens that adapt to the different ways that people use PCs."
Lenovo's VertiFlex concept features a rotating display that reveals a soft, felt-covered backplate beneath the panel. The felt surface could feel jarring and visually stand out on a laptop, though black felt might fade into the background over time depending on perception. Lenovo proposes using the felt area to hold a smartphone for mirroring via Software Connect, but that requires a Lenovo Motorola phone. The unique screen could support split-screen multitasking, code display, and document review. The design aims to offer versatile screens without bendable OLEDs, but it must prove durable pivot mechanisms and long-term reliability.
