It can also serve as a secondary monitor with a built-in kickstand, providing a robust workstation without the need for multiple devices. While its market availability is uncertain, Lenovo's previous modular concepts like the ThinkBook Rollable and ThinkPad X1 Carbon Aura Edition suggest a strong likelihood of its eventual release.
