'Slidable' PC Screen Stretches From 13 to 17 Inches and Back - CNET

Intel and Samsung have another new idea for how to make a PC: a "slidable" device with a screen that extends out to a much larger size when you pull the edge.

A slidable PC device will satisfy needs for both a large screen and portability, Gelsinger said.

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger shows how a "slidable" PC's screen can extend from a 13-inch diagonal to a 17-inch diagonal.

Although the slidable PC prototype didn't have a keyboard, one could be added as the design matures, for example by folding out from underneath, Holthaus said.

A close-up view of the slidable PC prototype from Intel and Samsung shows some ripples on the left side of the flexible screen, the area that curves when the device is pushed back into its shortened configuration.

Also at the event, Gelsinger showed off the new Raptor Lake processors that are scheduled to hit store shelves on Oct.

Expect an improvement in 2023: "Early next year we'll release a [model] that for the first time ever hits 6 gigahertz out of the box," though Intel will ship it only in limited volumes, Gelsinger said.
