Go foldable or go home: All the gadgets you can own that fold

When it comes to laptops, depending on your definition, we've had foldable computers for more than 40 years. This dates all the way back to stuff like the Osborne 1 from 1981 and the Grid Compass from 1982, the latter of which is one of the earliest gadgets that still looks (vaguely) like the kind of clamshell PCs we use today. That said, when it comes to more contemporary foldables, I'm talking about things with more out-there designs — like laptops with dual displays, flexible screens or rollable/expandable panels.

Granted, while these types of laptops aren't super popular — often due to their price and unusual designs — there are more notebooks with dual or flexible displays on the market than you might realize. ASUS released the Zenbook 17 Fold back in 2022 before moving on to machines with two screens like the first- and second-gen Zenbook Duo. ASUS even made a gaming laptop with dual displays in the ROG Zephyrus Duo. HP created the Spectre Fold in 2023, but sadly hasn't revisited the category since. Then there's Lenovo, which might be the most prolific maker of laptops with rollable or flexible displays, including systems such as the ThinkPad X1 Fold, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable and more concept devices than you can shake a stick at.
