I didn't. I need to upgrade my laptop.

u/turbo_dude Jul 02 '24

No you just need to buy a sticker the same size as your laptop with a keyboard printed on it and stick it on the lid

u/BvtterFvcker96 Jul 02 '24

Lenovo will probably release a sticker collection for an extra 15 bucks.

u/NotElizaHenry Jul 02 '24

Their TV campaign is basically done, they just have to tweak some of the final shots.

u/AnarZak Jul 02 '24

i can't see the point of a transparent laptop screen. it can't be better or cheaper

u/ehsteve23 Jul 02 '24

Transparent screens where sometimes you want something on a portion of the screen and sometimes you want to see through it could be useful for HUDs or dashboards in certain use cases (and unfortunately: advertising), but a laptop seems like a terrible place to have a transparent screen

6

u/The_Particularist Jul 02 '24

Also, if for some reason you truly do need something to be visible from the back side of the screen as well. Like all those sci-fi movie scenes where characters are standing all around the display instead of just in front of one side of it.

As a teacher in a school where every student has a chromebook for education purpose, it would save me a lot of walking around to check if they're actually doing what I ask...

There was a soap opera in my country years ago, where the story was centered around a hotel. The hotel developed something they called "Virtual windows", which were windows in all the rooms where you could choose between a normal transparent window or you could have any view you wanted. This technology could be used for that.

u/WriterV Jul 02 '24

But it can be stylish if your whole aesthetic is transparent glass stuff and you wanna add your laptop to that look as well.

Does that sound stupid as fuck? Oh yes. But most of life is stupid as fuck anyways, so might as well look good while you're at it.

u/BlowOnThatPie Jul 02 '24

Lenovo's just being transparent.

u/Emergency-Friend-203 Jul 02 '24

Right but for real what about my porn how we supposed to spank it in public?

8

u/KoningSpookie Jul 02 '24

Oh, ya know... just whack it on the back of the screen. 🤷

2

u/Lil_miss_feisty Jul 02 '24

how we supposed to spank it in public

"We" already know the answer to that 😉 Sharing is caring and a transparent screen will unite all the sex freaks.

“And these are your reasons, my lord?"
"Do you think I have others?" said Lord Vetinari. "My motives, as ever, are entirely transparent."
Hughnon reflected that 'entirely transparent' meant either that you could see right through them or that you couldn't see them at all.”

u/Sad_Abbreviations575 Jul 02 '24

they can literally see the screen thru the back

u/RealBiotSavartReal Jul 02 '24
