While this is only a concept for folding tablets, it’s undeniably cool. Unlike the ThinkPad X1 that Lenovo has prototyped, Dell’s concept allows consumers to use the pen anywhere on the display so that they can write and draw. However, users can also use a mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth connectivity. The tablet can also be folded at 90 degrees, with one half used as the display and the other as the keyboard.

This product is similar to the Surface Neo and may launch by year-end. It’s designed to offer users more screen on the go with two monitors that can be folded up and put in a bag so they can take it anywhere.
