Lenovo transparent laptop hands-on: Utterly, uselessly cool

Have you ever seen a transparent laptop? In sci-fi movies, maybe. But at MWC this year, I got to look at a real laptop with a transparent display and keyboard top. A concept for now, but the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop is just utterly, uselessly, impractically cool.

The Lenovo transparent laptop concept was astonishing the first time I saw it and saw through it.

Like it did last year with the rollable laptop, Lenovo is showing off futuristic tech in a concept unit that actually works. The ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop features a transparent MicroLED display similar to what we saw earlier this year at MWC. It’s see-through and sandwiched between two layers of glass. And the effect was astonishing the first time I saw it, and saw through it.
