We may have left 2019 in the rearview mirror, but we clearly haven’t given up on the foldable and dual-screen dreams just yet. In addition to a new flagship XPS 13 and a 5G-ready business laptop, Dell is here at CES 2020 with a few concept devices to show off. They’re called the Concept Ori and Concept Duo, and are perhaps the company’s most interesting offerings for the show. Dell gave reporters a preview at a recent briefing in New York, alongside an Alienware concept handheld console that is very reminiscent of a Nintendo Switch. Dell has no details yet on when, if ever, these prototypes will become widely available.
In fact, specifics on things like processors, screen resolution and battery size or estimates are also undisclosed. All Dell really wanted us to know was that it was working on these machines and that it had the chops to do so.
The Duet is the more straightforward of the pair. It’s Dell’s take on Microsoft’s dual-screen Surface Neo, and has two 13.3-inch screens connected to each other by a hinge similar to those you’ll find on a 360-degree convertible. Don’t get too attached to any of the dimensions I share here, by the way — Dell was hesitant to even share measurements with media. Really, all I can tell you about the hardware is that, for a prototype, the Duet felt refined and sturdy. Oh, and there’s a physical keyboard accessory that takes up about half of the screen, which you can place on the bottom display for more natural typing.
