    What if your 14-inch laptop literally stretched to become a 17-inch Netflix machine?

    Lenovo’s Project Swan has a screen that literally unrolls. The prototype could use better speakers and some weight balancing, but I love watching it in motion!

    This is Project Aeroblade.

    Remember Frore and its fan-replacing AirJet cooling tech? Sure looks like Lenovo is taking it seriously!

    Lenovo made an incredibly lappable detachable tablet keyboard.

    I am largely uninterested in Android tablets these days — and yet! This just-announced Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus Gen 2 surprised me in person. Magnetically snaps right onto this “OneStep” keyboard frame, surprisingly excellent typing with 1.5mm key travel, firm non-slip leatherette base. Doesn’t open one-handed, though, and I’d like it better with a carry handle.

    The tenth TITW gadget giveaway has ten entries so far.

    That’s how many realized they could enter to win before this weekly reminder! See, I give away gadgets every Wednesday, but you’ve got to enter each time. You can use email — see the official rules — as long as the subject line’s right. It’s not “Email Entry,” but rather “Today I’m Toying With Giveaway #10” this time.

    Wait, you’re telling me Star Wars: Zero Company could have been a Titanfall game?

    In another timeline, anyhow. In court documents spotted by journalist Stephen Totilo, Bit Reactor co-founder Greg Foertsch claims he originally pitched a game set in the Titanfall universe, but Respawn asked him to make it a Star Wars game instead. Shooting clankers is great and all, but pretty please greenlight the airdropped robots, too!

    The Steam Frame will get color passthrough after all — with a snap-on aftermarket camera.

    Leaked photos and demo videos claim the Arcturus Vision Camera works out of the box! Plug it into the Frame’s nosebridge port, and get 5K60 10-bit HDR color plus spatial video recording. Valve isn’t offering native color passthrough to keep costs down, but looks like its passthrough partner got the greenlight! No price yet.
