And another important consideration: expensive

LG Gram Fold, currently only available on the South Korean market, with a slightly more affordable price tag (around $3,700) is also unlikely to be in high demand. Its main goal, apparently, is the same as that of the Spectre Foldable PC: to demonstrate what the vendor is capable of and to assess the market reaction. If the new flexible OLED panel, which two PC developers are already betting on — larger and brighter than previous options due to an additional layer of organic emitting elements — is to the liking of users, there is a high probability that similar models will appear in other global brands (for example, a bolivia whatsapp resource Samsung representative spoke about this possibility). As ODM PC manufacturers master the new technology, other, less famous and less global, brands will also gain access to the production of large-screen foldable laptops under their own brands.

Why are computers that are so expensive and, at first glance, seem less reliable (due to the complicated design of the hinges and, in fact, the flexible screen) considered by vendors as one of the promising areas? First of all, they are inspired by the example of the smartphone segment, in which, in the context of a global decline in supplies, the foldable gadgets segment is the only one demonstrating confident growth: according to TrendForce, this year foldable models will account for 1.7% of the total global supply of smartphones, and if the current trend of cheaper components for them continues, this share will exceed 5% by 2027.

devices have a high margin — and therefore even their moderate sales promise suppliers much more tangible profits than the cyclopean shipments of simple PCs at the most budget prices. And without profit, investments in new developments are impossible — that is why, in order to further develop the personal systems segment, vendors absolutely must offer buyers such devices that they would really like to buy — even for sometimes absurd amounts. And if AI-PCs solve this problem "from the mind" (their usefulness for solving business problems is quite noticeable), then folding laptops, in all likelihood, come "from the heart". In any case, both of them will be a good help for the channel — when they reach the Russian market by one way or another.
