Arrr, me hearties! The HP Spectre Foldable PC be sailin' in, but alas! It be needin' another scurvy dog's mark on its stern. Aye, a fine vessel, but ye be wishin' it to fly a different flag, me thinks!
In a humorous and 17th century pirate language, the author discusses the emergence of foldable laptops and the potential impact on Apple. The HP Spectre Foldable PC, priced at $5,000, is seen as a confirmation that if Apple does not enter the foldable laptop market soon, it will be left behind. The author compares this situation to the foldable smartphone market, where Samsung and other Android manufacturers have already released their versions while Apple's bendy iPhone is conspicuously absent.The author acknowledges that Apple is not typically the first to enter a market, but when it does, it often changes the game. Examples include the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, which have become dominant in their respective markets. However, the foldable iPhone is still years away, despite Samsung and Google already offering competitive products.
The article then shifts focus to the possibility of Apple releasing a foldable MacBook. Rumors and patents have suggested that Apple is working on a foldable MacBook, but nothing has been confirmed yet. The author envisions a scenario where a 17-inch tablet could be folded in half with a Magic Keyboard attached, operating on both iPadOS and macOS.
However, the author notes that this idea is currently wishful thinking, as companies like HP are already making foldable laptops a reality while Apple lags behind. The article ends with the humorous observation that it is a strange day indeed when HP is ahead of Apple in terms of innovation.
