Intel and Samsung show off a fun but impractical 'slidable' PC<p>In between a few
expected annoucements, Intel found time to share a surprise at its Innovation 2022 conference. After Samsung Display CEO JS Choi joined him on stage, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger showed off a concept “slidable” PC that featured an extendable OLED screen. By pulling on the edge of the prototype, Gelsinger made its 13-inch display turn into a 17-inch one. Put another way, the prototype went from being about the size of a large tablet like the iPad Pro to a small monitor.</p><div id="99fa8ffa8a0c4539b0127bcd0ae2ee06"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This looks great…

The company showed off a
prototype last year. Gelsinger called the concept PC a demonstration of what is possible to do with OLED display technology and a flexible plastic substrate. However, don’t expect the device he showed off to make it to market anytime soon, if at all.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>
