Chinese firm Lenovo has unveiled its latest laptop - and it's perhaps its most bizarre creation yet.
The ThinkBook 'Flip' AI PC might look like a normal laptop, it it weren't for the massively extended screen twice the size of the base.
Almost comic in appearance, the screen measures 18.1 inches vertically - more than a bowling pin or the width of an extra-large pizza.
But the screen also folds backwards across the middle, letting the user share the display with the person across from them.
Lenovo says this quirky design feature and in-built AI assistant makes the device perfect for workplace meetings, enhancing 'business collaboration'.
And if the user wants to watch Netflix or just doesn't need the keyboard, they can fold down the screen flat, covering up the keyboard.
'The ThinkBook codename Flip AI PC Concept exemplifies our vision for the future,' said Eric Yu at Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group.
'AI-powered devices [will] drive efficiency, personalization, and collaboration like never before.'

Lenovo says the eye-catching laptop is a concept device, meaning it's unlikely to make it to market anytime soon.
However, this prototype gives an idea of what workplaces of the future will be using to 'enhance productivity', according to the firm.
Lenovo has produced the device in limited quantities and MailOnline has witnessed how it works at MWC in Barcelona on Monday.
When the ThinkBook 'Flip' AI PC screen is at its fullest extent (18.1 inches) users can have one big display or instead opt for split screen for two smaller displays.
When they fold it back to share the screen for someone opposite, the display flips around so that the other person isn't looking at it upside down.
Alternatively, users can fold the top half of the display right back and leave it blank - making the user experience more like a conventional laptop.
Despite only being a concept for now, Lenovo is tapping into a consumer preference for extra-tall screens.
More and more workers prefer a vertical displays for rolling newsfeeds, long email chains and TikTok-style mobile videos which are portrait rather than landscape.

At MWC two years ago, it showed off a similar laptop with an extendable screen, which gradually gets taller and taller at the flick of a switch.
The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable AI PC's 12.7 inch screen takes just 10 seconds to become a 15.3 inch display.
MailOnline is covering all the weird and wonderful tech devices unveiled at MWC this week, the famous industry trade show held every year in Barcelona at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, Spain.
Top exhibitors include Samsung, Huawei, Microsoft, IBM, Dell, Honor, HTC Vive, Xiaomi, Nokia, Lenovo, Sony, Qualcomm, ZTE and British smartphone maker Nothing.
What is Mobile World Congress (MWC)?
Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the world's largest mobile and communications trade show.
It is held every year in Barcelona at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, Spain - and only CES in Las Vegas rivals its size, stature and popularity.
MWC usually attracts more than 100,000 visitors – although this took a hit during the Covid pandemic when it had to be cancelled.
MWC's origin traces back to a business conference in Brussels in 1987 on cellular radio before evolving to focus on smartphones and the mobile industry.
Top exhibitors include Samsung, Huawei, Microsoft, IBM, Dell, Honor, HTC Vive, Xiaomi, Nokia, Lenovo, Sony, Qualcomm, ZTE and British smartphone maker Nothing.
Social media platforms including Meta, TikTok and Snapchat owner Snap Inc are also be in attendance, make announcements in partnership with the phone makers, as well as telcos like Orange.
Apple, on the other hand, does not attend MWC and instead prefers to take the whole limelight by running its own events for any announcements.
The theme for 2025 is 'Converge. Connect. Create', suggesting phone networks will be as much a focus as the hardware.
