HMD Launching-Confidential Convertible Laptops
HMD seems to be expanding its production line to the category of laptops. A leak from an insider called smashx_60 on the X platform indicates that the so-called transformer device is under development, which could very well be the entrance of HMD into this new market.
Nomination and Appearance
As per insider information, the leak names two possible options for the new device HMD Chromebook CS-1 Flip or HMD Book CS-1 Flip. With the word Flip in the name, it is indicative of a convertible model with a 360-degree hinge, allowing the product to operate in a laptop form and as a tablet.
By the way, ChromeOS will be replaced by Android for PC next year, so what's the point of this laptop? Can it be upgraded to Android for PC?
