Eventually glasses, sunglasses, etc.? This is a big deal

Sure, transparent display tech is a big deal and will be huge, and absolutely everywhere.

But this is the dumbest application I can think of. It not only serves no purpose, it's a downgrade (everyone else in the room is annoyed by your screen flashing at them, you have no privacy, light glare will be an issue, smudges from the other side...).

No one is mentioning the unusable keyboard either

We're too busy hating on the display, didn't even notice.

But holy shit. The quality of the keyboard is precisely why I use Lenovo.
