Lenovo has unveiled the world's first transparent laptop at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024 event in Barcelona, unveiling a 17.3-inch spectacle straight out of a sci-fi movie. The ThinkBook Transparent Concept features a bezel-less screen, a transparent keyboard area and a floating walkway design.

The laptop has a 17.3-inch borderless screen with up to 55 percent transparency when the pixels are set to black and black, although the display becomes less transparent when the pixels light up. According to The Verge, the concept laptop has a peak brightness of 1,000 nits and a 720p screen.
However, unlike most premium offerings, the Lenovo Thinkpad Transparent does not have an AMOLED panel, but a MicroLED display. The MicroLED display is touted to offer better saturation, transparency, brightness and image quality compared to its OLED alternative, reports the Times of India.
Lenovo didn't reveal any hardware-related specifications of its latest transparent offering, but did share that it runs on the Windows 11 operating system, similar to many other premium offerings.
In addition to the transparent display, Lenovo's concept video also showed off a flat touch keyboard, which is more of a projection than an actual keyboard, and the keyboard starts to disappear when you bring the pen close to the Thinkbook. Lenovo said the transparent laptop could be especially useful for artists or architects because they can sketch.
When will the transparent laptop be available?
Like its predecessor, the rollable laptop unveiled at last year's MWC, the latest transparent laptop is also a proof of concept, but Tom Butler, executive director of Lenovo's ThinkPad portfolio, told The Verge that the company is “very confident ' has in the technology will translate into a real laptop in the next five years.
