HP is also secretly working on a 17-inch foldable laptop

Foldable laptop running Windows 10.

With foldable phones becoming more popular, the foldable laptop market is starting to grow as well. HP has joined the effort and is reportedly working on a massive 17-inch laptop with a foldable OLED display, according to South Korean publication, The Elec.
