The answer, counter-intuitively, is quite a lot. One of the biggest trends coming to the PC market this decade — as early as this year — is foldable displays. Pegged for release in mid, the predictably expensive ThinkPad X1 Fold has a Neither of these have a firm release date, but this unusual form factor is likely to become a lot more familiar over the next few years. While flexible displays are unlikely to become the norm in , certain OEMs have taken a different approach — one that threatens to disrupt the industry more rapidly.
In the near term it will be dual folding displays that drive a new phase of form-factor innovation. Others are taking the dual screen concept in a different direction. Lenovo, which first debuted a laptop with an E Ink display in with the Yoga Book C, is taking things further in with the ThinkBook Plus, a regular-looking laptop with an E Ink display built into its lid. This, Lenovo claims, not only allows you to customise your laptop with a range of static images, but also gives users a makeshift sketchpad and at-a-glance information such as calendar appointments and messages.
But Blaber remains unconvinced that the second coming of E Ink displays will be any more successful than the first. Asus is also at the forefront of dual-screen laptops. It has already produced two versions of the Asus ZenBook Pro Duo, which supplements the main screen with a second full-width but half-height display that sits above the keyboard.
The question then comes: why would you want to? Asus argues there are several scenarios where such a setup would be useful: coders wanting to see the code on one screen and the end result on another; students might keep reference information on the secondary screen while they work on a dissertation; video editors could put the timeline on one screen and the output on the other.
Just as the best camera is the one you have with you, the best computer most of us have to hand is our phone. For the past decade, laptop makers have tried to make their products more tablet-like; the next decade could see manufacturers making laptops more like phones. Meanwhile, some manufacturers have tried to make smartphones more PC-like. This marrying of smartphone and desktop is probably the way forward, at least for the next few years.

One thing is certain: machines are increasingly connected and, more and more frequently, plays a leading life role. All desktop computers look alike, but the future will not necessarily be the same because an "intrepid group of designers and engineers" is resolving the "equality syndrome" that runs through the computer industry, Computerworld says.
New concepts and design are different and point to future forms of work and entertainment. Some are just concepts or prototypes that will never be commercialized but "allow us to pull our imagination and ask 'what if'," says Murali Veeramoney, who heads the computer design program at Intel.
