Maybe of one half or the other of the screen could be used to display a keyboard that would make it semi-productive in a cumbersome way that makes you want to just connect a physical keyboard, but I doubt this will be priced reasonably or offer anything more than fad-wiz-bang-imaginary-status for people that want to impress others more than accomplish useful tasks with their compute hardware.
When price is right I would like to have a 2x 3:2, i.e 1920x2560 that can be folded into a standard ~13-15" letter size form factor vertically for mobility but docking horizontally as a ~24-27" all-in-one.
13.3" at foldout is just useless. Too small for road warriors and no man purse carrying hipster trust fund baby would want to be seen with a Windows tablet, other than ironically as a one time thing.
If it's anything like the Galaxy Fold, that crease/warping down the center will be very obvious when the screen is unfolded and flat. To me that warp would be such an annoyance that I'd rather have a bezel in the middle. De gustibus.
This goes against everything ThinkPads used to stand for. Fragile screen, unusable when your hands are wet or greasy, probably an absolute nightmare to repair. I really don't understand why they included it in this series, but I just see this as (further) tacit admission that they don't see ThinkPads the same way as ThinkPad customers used to see them.
There is no point in a bendable screen in anything larger than a phone. The only reason you even consider a bendable screen is if the screen is too small and you need one larger one, even that is debatable if you can get the bezels small enough. Microsoft has gotten it right

Lenovo already Yoga Book C930 with e-paper bottom screen which can display a keyboard to "type" on. I tried it at Costco and it was terrible.wr3zzz - Monday, October 21, 2019 - link

It's not a notebook, but rather a pro-sized Windows tablet that folds up. There's a reason they're struggling on the software side...0siris - Tuesday, October 22, 2019 - link
