Amazon to be working on a foldable-screen laptop of its own
Yesterday, Huawei unveiled the MateBook Fold Ultimate, which is a laptop with a folding screen. When unfolded, you get 18" of real estate, whereas when folded it has the same footprint as a 13" laptop. Today, Amazon is rumored to be working on a very similar device of its own. The information comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, a goldmine of supply chain information who usually focuses on Apple. Speaking of which, it's not coincidental that he's talking about this form factor, as Apple itself has been rumored to be working on a similar device too. Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate Apple's laptop with a folding screen is now expected to enter mass production in late 2027 or 2028, but Amazon will be quicker it seems, with its interpretation projected to enter mass production in late 2026 or 2027. There are no other details right now, but it will be interesting to see what OS Amazon will go with - will it be Windows or Fire OS? Likewise for Apple - macOS or iPadOS? We've still got a long time to wait to see any of these products in person, so undoubtedly we'll be hearing more about them over the coming months and years. Source

Huawei's new foldable laptop might be the thinnest yet
Huawei just launched a super sleek folding laptop that might be as thin as your phone. The MateBook Fold, which consists of a single OLED display, is just 7.3mm (~0.3 inches) thick when unfolded and 14.9mm (~0.6 inches) when closed, as spotted earlier by Android Headlines. To compare, Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold measures 8.6mm (0.34 inches) thick unfolded and 17.4mm (0.68 inches) when folded. But unlike Lenovo's device, the MateBook Fold is only available in China for now, with a price of around $3,300. The MateBook Fold's 18-inch display folds at a 90-degree angle to form a 13-inch upper screen, mimicking a traditional laptop with a digital keyboard instead of a physical one. The device weighs just 1.16kg (~2.6lbs), with its tandem OLED offering a 3.3K (3296 x 2472) resolution and a peak brightness of up to 1600 nits. The laptop also comes with up to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage. This also marks the debut of Huawei's in-house operating system, called HarmonyOS 5, on PC. Huawei first launched HarmonyOS on Android, but it has since brought its operating system to PCs after losing access to Microsoft Windows in March due to US sanctions. In addition to coming with the MateBook Fold, the system is available on the new MateBook Pro as well.
