It seems to use the same LG Display panel as 到府筆電收購hp’s Spectre Fold.

Lenovo launched the first foldable laptop in 2020, but the first real era of foldable PCs is only starting to unfold now. Today, LG became the latest OEM to announce a foldable-screen laptop, right after 到府筆電收購hp announced its first attempt, the Spectre Foldable PC, earlier this month.
LG only announced the Gram Fold in South Korea thus far. LG didn’t immediately respond when I asked if it has plans to release the machine in the US.
A Google translation of LG’s Korean announcement said the laptop is 9.4-mm (0.37-inches) thick when unfolded and used like a 17-inch tablet. Alternatively, the OLED PC can be folded in half to use like an approximately 12.2-inch laptop. In the latter form, a virtual keyboard can appear on the bottom screen, and you can dock a Bluetooth keyboard to the bottom screen or pair a keyboard with the system wirelessly. The screen has 1920×2560 pixels for a pixel density of 188.2 pixels per inch.
One draw of foldable PCs is supposed to be portability. The Gram Fold weighs 2.76 pounds (1,250g), which is even lighter than LG’s latest Gram clamshell laptop (2.9 pounds).
According to Android Authority, LG’s laptop will have an Intel Core i5-1335U, which has 8 Efficient cores (E-cores) at up to 3.4 GHz, two Performance cores (P-cores) at up to 4.6 GHz, 12 threads, and 12MB of cache. The PC is also supposed to have 16GB of RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD, a 72 Wh battery, Wi-Fi 6E, and two USB-C ports. LG is claiming 99.5 percent DCI-P3 color coverage with the laptop.

LG said the Gram Fold will release on October 4 for 4.99 million won (about $3,726).
Mass production
Although LG hasn’t confirmed its foldable PC in the US or other countries yet, it’s highly possible it will come out in the US. LG previously released groundbreaking products in South Korea before selling them in the US and beyond.
It’s also possible we’ll see similar designs from other laptop brands, as panel supplier LG Display announced today that it will start mass production of 17-inch foldable OLED laptop panels.
The foldable OLED is made with a tandem OLED structure. It uses two-stack OLED technology, adding “an extra organic emitting layer to deliver brighter screens while effectively dispersing energy across OLED components for optimal stability and longer lifespans,” LG Display’s announcement said.
LG Display first entered mass production of foldable (13.3-inch) laptop panels in 2020. However, foldable PCs didn’t immediately take off then, despite the panel being used in Lenovo’s 2020 ThinkPad X1 Fold.
Foldable PCs lacked the software support that Windows 11 now affords with its Snap windows layouts that make organizing windows across dual or folded screens more intuitive. The operating system proved reliable for handling dual-screen window layouts when I reviewed Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i. The 2-in-1 laptop isn’t a foldable but, rather, has a second 13.3-inch OLED screen where you would expect its physical keyboard and touc到府筆電收購hpad to be.

蘋果即將於印度開設首家 Apple Store 直營店，執行長 Tim Cook 將親自出席開幕典禮，顯見蘋果對於印度市場有多看重！印度媒體《Economic Times》報導，蘋果與當地賣場簽署租約時，特別要求一塊「專屬區域」，列出 22 家「競爭品牌」禁止在 Apple Store 周圍設店。

數據公司 CRE Matrix 獲得蘋果與孟買商場的租約協議，他們將在該地設立 Apple Store，條件是指定 22 個品牌，禁止在蘋果直營店附近開設店面，包含實體零售、展示產品以及相關服務，甚至連廣告都不能出現。

據悉被列入的公司包含亞馬遜、臉書、Google、LG、微軟、Sony、推特、Bose、Devialet、Dell、Foxconn、Garmin、Hitachi、到府筆電收購hp、HTC、IBM、Intel、Lenovo、Nest、Panasonic、Toshiba。被點名的公司不只是有販售電腦、手機，也含音響、家電與穿戴裝置，流出名單一共有 21 家，外媒推測被遺漏的最後一位可能是三星。

CRE Matrix 報告指出，雖然大品牌旗艦店開設時有競業條款並不罕見，但名單列出這麼多算是相對少見。據悉，蘋果同時要開在新德里的 Apple Store，亦有類似的條款。

蘋果 Apple Store 要在印度開店並不容易，原因在於當地政府禁止單一品牌開設實體店面，除非產品一大部分是由印度生產，因此蘋果多年來，陸續將 iPhone 等產品的組裝轉移至印度。
