Apple Set To Produce A 'bendable' Macbook by Nobody: 7:54am On May 06, 2020
AppleĀ has filed a patent illustrating an experimental new design for a bendable laptop that would be made from a single piece of material.

The patent describes a 'planar hinge assembly' that would smoothly bend like a stack of papers rather than the rigid mechanical hinge design of most existing laptops.

The new design would be made possible by a stack of thin bendable layers, each of which would house connections between components on either side of the laptop.

Specifically, the design would allow the bendable hinge layers to compress and uncompress in such a way that 'mechanical communication' between the screen side of the device and the keyboard and track pad side would remain in tact.

According to a report inĀ Apple Insider, there are few details as to what, if any, benefits a layered and bendable laptop would have over the current mechanical system.
