I figured out how to get windows 11 installed and for the unit to be stable
Do all the updates for the system you can out-of-the-box for windows 10
Then go to Microsoft and use the Windows 11 download tool and to do an installation of windows 11
As soon as Windows 11 is up and running, go to the update section for windows and pause all windows updates immediately and allow no updates to occur
Download the Intel driver assistant program directly from Intel's website. You can google the tool. Run that tool to update any drivers - specifically the intel video driver to V31 or higher
Now download the 'show and hide updates' tool from Microsoft. Run it, and hide any Intel video driver updates that Microsoft wants to install as these will be older than the one you just installed from Intel directly. Be sure to uncheck the box under advanced options where it tries to automatically fix issues. We don't want that. We just want to hide the video driver update. And that is what is causing the issues…at least it was for me and other people I read about online.
When you hide the intel video driver update that windows wants to install, it will no longer try to install that particular driver…. Hidden updates are blocked from installing 👍
So now you can go back to the regular Windows update program and unpause it and continue with regular Windows updates.
I did all of the remaining windows 11 updates of the system and it is running very well… seems stable.
The key is to prevent Microsoft/windows from installing any version 30 or older of the Intel video driver… and instead, you use the Intel driver support tool to get the latest intel video driver - version 31.
Hope this helps. Took me about 10 reinstall's to get it all figured out, and I hope I can save someone else some headaches
I saw a review praising the folding screen, and apparently it works great for getting a huge screen in a small package. It's a genuinely cool feature to have. Reportedly, the fold didn't stand out at all.
That said, the detached keyboard/trackpad connects over Bluetooth and is laggy as all hell, takes FOREVER to connect on wake-from-sleep, and flexes so hard the trackpad clicks on its own. It SUCKS. Like REALLY bad.
Also, this sold for $3000 and has only 8GB RAM??? Who are these sickos who keep putting 8GB soldered in computers in 2022, and can I talk to their manager?

RIGHT?!?!? They've hamstrung themselves (and worse, their potential customers) by doing that alone. I want to WANT one of these things, and as cool as the idea is, the execution just leaves too much lacking. After watching Mr.Mobile's review on YouTube, I also can't help but wonder if this wouldn't have made a better Chromebook for the OS, rather than Windows.
Doesn't the fold4 retail for like 1700? This offers more and bigger so why not?
This doesn't offer more than a Fold4. The Fold4 gives you the experience of a mini tablet and functions as a slim phone when folded.
This? It doesn't quite understand what it is. If you want a full size tablet you'll get a full size tablet. Not this weird hybrid of a larger tablet opened and a medium sized tablet that loses function when folded.

Wouldn't even think of buying this at that price.

That's some next-level gaslighting.

Lenovo just came out with Gen 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwn6zK2
With that said, if you got money to throw around, this sounds like a novel Windows tablet replacement device.
