TUXEDO are flexing their hardware chops here with the InfinityFlex, a fully foldable Linux laptop so you can use it wherever and however you want. No that's not drool on my top, honest.
With the ability to fold the screen right down on top of the unit, you can use it as a standard laptop or more like a tablet. Since it has a pressure-sensitive touch display, pairing it up with a pen you can use it for all sorts of artwork projects too. Pretty light as well at only 1.5KG.
TUXEDO put some fun work into this one by the sounds of it. They said "soon as the device is used in monitor or tablet mode, the keyboard and touchpad are automatically deactivated to prevent incorrect entries, the screen content is rotated according to the chassis orientation and TUXEDO OS also adapts its UI to touch operation".
Specifications:
- 14-inch IPS Touch Display, 1920 x 1200, sRGB color gamut: 100 %, Brightness: 400 nits.
- Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211, Bluetooth 5.3.
- 55 Wh battery.
- Intel Core i5-1335U, Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
- DDR4-3200 MHz SO-DIMM, 16GB on the base model.
- 500 GB Samsung 980 (NVMe PCIe 3.0).
Looks and sounds like a real nice machine.
See more on the TUXEDO store. Available for pre-order with shipping after September 16th. The pen is sold separately.

Want a fold-able laptop. I would most likely bit the bullet and pay the Windows tax for Asus Zenbook 14 Flip OLED with AMD Ryzen APU.If you're in the EU, you should be able to get a refund for that Windows tax, if they don't directly offer it without an OS.
Still hope non-Windows OEM comes out with a decent AMD fold-able. Intel is in my do not buy category when they pushed out 13 & 14 GEN CPU they knew where bad just to go to market with a product. They are the Boeing of the computing industry. If it's Intel I ain't buying.
no, if you complain they will most likely just offer to take the whole device back

If you're in the EU, you should be able to get a refund for that Windows tax, if they don't directly offer it without an OS.I almost attempted that some years ago, but the hoops that you had to jump through to even be considered for a refund were so cumbersome that I didn't bother in the end*. I don't imagine that it's any better now, unfortunately, and it just shouldn't be that way.
*This was an extreeeeeeeemely long time ago so pardon my slightly fuzzy memory, but I seem to recall that, at a minimum, you had to provide photographic proof of the entire process of declining to use Windows and installing something else, as well as proof of purchase and all of the personal details that you'd reasonably expect would be needed to process a refund; I recall that it felt like a hell of a lot to have to give to a company who forced their software onto the product I wanted in the first place. I figured it was one of those cases where they legally have to offer it, but they make it such a pain that most folks won't go for it. Knowing my luck, they probably would've said that it wasn't proof enough, anyway.

I don't imagine that it's any better now, unfortunately, and it just shouldn't be that way.I'm sad to hear that it's gotten like this! Last I did it was about a decade ago, but it really was no more than telling the store that I refused to accept the terms that Windows required me to accept and that I wanted the price of the Windows license removed from the total price. I think I might have had to give them one reminder that they were legally required to give me a refund, but I certainly didn't have to repeat it or provide any proof (which I also couldn't have done, as I was telling them this in the store as I was purchasing the machine).

So sounds like it depends on the store 🤷♀️
