On Monday, Lenovo showcased its World’s First transparent laptop in the ongoing Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, Spain. According to Lenovo, this laptop is a ‘proof of concept’ and is not expected to be available in the market for sale anytime soon.
Specifications of Transparent ThinkBook
Lenovo ThinKBook Transparent Display is a Laptop with 17.3-inch see-through panel that uses a micro LED screen (55 per cent transparency) with 720 pixel resolution display without any bezels. The use of micro LED technology offers high color saturation and exceptional contrast along with the peak brightness of 1000nits for both indoors and outdoors.
The laptop has a transparent keyboard area as well, laser projecting a floating keys when required. The users can also shift from the keyboard into a sketch board with stylus support for creative efficiency.
Use of AIGC:
Lenovo didn’t just stop there – a camera that is located on the chassis of the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display uses Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) technology for image recognition where the users can interact with real world objects and the digital version of the same object will be displayed on the laptop display.
When it comes to software, it will be same as most of the laptops these days as it will run Windows 11 OS. Lenovo has not revealed anything related to the hardware specifications of this laptop till now. Lenovo also didn’t shared any details about its future plans like whether the brand is gonna mass produce the ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop or not for the market still remains a mystery.
Lenovo’s other Products:
Along with Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display, Lenovo also unveiled its latest generation of ThinkPad lineup, which includes the ThinkPad T14 i Gen 5, ThinkPad T14s Gen 5, ThinkPad T16 Gen 3, ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2, and ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4.
However, Lenovo is yet to announce the price and availability details of these new generations.
Reviews of ThinkBook Transparent Display:
People are waiting in line at the MWC in Barcelona, Spain to get a preview of the company’s demo ThinkBook laptop (proof-of-concept) that features a transparent display. 
According to the review written on The Indian Express, the users find the transparent display as a one piece of glass with floating icons. The Indian Express stated that, “The device looks like one piece of glass with floating Windows icons on it. Moving the cursor appears as if you are moving in mid-air. It’s like you are using an AR headset, and the apps interact in a whole new environment”.
People trying the demo model says that it make them feel they are in a dystopian world with one of the witnesses speaking, “I must say, peering through the transparent display is pure magic, giving you the feeling of using a dystopian computer for the dystopian world.”
The only backdraw of this model would be the key board. People won’t get that tactile feel instead it will be like typing on a flat surface.
Lenovo is very much aware that achieving a Full HD display at the moment on a transparent Micro LED panel would be a challenge but still innovating a transparent display is a big deal and it took the technology one steps closer to the unimaginable things which are yet to come with the foundation idea of transparent display concept. Lenovo’s ThinkBook transparent display is a eyes on the future.
