The upcoming 2020 could be the year of foldable and dual-screen devices. Many people are preparing such gadgets, including Microsoft, which previously introduced the Surface Neo tablet based on Windows 10X and the Surface Duo Android smartphone. Both with two screens. Similar solutions are expected from the corporation's partners - HP, Dell and Lenovo. In addition, Windows 10X will appear on regular laptops. But it doesn't seem to happen as soon as we would like.
According to new information, Intel will not promote foldable laptops for the first time due to the slow development of the operating system and the lack of flexible panels. Initially, they wanted to show a novelty with a 17-inch folding screen at CES 2020, but then they refused. The reason was called insufficient support at the OS level.
Thus, if the chipmaker refuses to supply processors and logic for foldable tablets and laptops with flexible screens, this will cause problems for the software giant. At the moment, it is not reported what exactly the disadvantage of Windows 10X is, but there can be many reasons.
Microsoft marketers promised that the new product will support Win32 applications that will run in container mode. It is possible that the brave statements turned out to be not too truthful. One way or another, for now, it remains to wait for news on this matter.
