The upcoming 2020 year could be the year of foldable and dual-screen devices. Many, including Microsoft, are preparing such gadgets, having previously introduced the Surface Neo tablet based on Windows 10X and the Surface Duo smartphone running Android. Both feature dual screens. Similar solutions are expected from the corporation's partners — HP, Dell, and Lenovo. Additionally, Windows 10X will also be available on standard laptops. However, it seems this will not happen as soon as one might hope.
According to new information, Intel will not initially promote foldable laptops due to the slow development of the operating system and a lack of flexible panels. Initially, a new 17-inch foldable screen was intended to be showcased at CES 2020, but this was later canceled. The reason given was insufficient support at the OS level.
Thus, if the chipmaker refuses to supply processors and logic for foldable tablets and laptops with flexible screens, it will create problems for the software giant. At present, the specifics of the shortcomings of Windows 10X are not disclosed, but there could be many reasons.
Microsoft marketers promised that the new product would support Win32 applications, which would work in container mode. It is possible that the bold claims have proven to be less truthful than expected. Regardless, we currently have to await further news on this matter.
