The MateBook Fold isn’t the first foldable laptop we’ve seen — Lenovo got there first, with plenty others since — but it might just be the thinnest, at only 7.3mm thick when unfolded. A 13-inch screen opens to 18 inches, and instead of running on Windows it’s all powered by Huawei’s own HarmonyOS 5. It’s China-only for now though, where it costs around $3,300.

I hate thin laptops. The screens flex when you open them and feel like they are going to break and they don’t have enough connectors.
And obviously, if you want to do something serious, you have to carry a keyboard with you.
