I wish a screen was as good at angles like the fake marketing photo suggests: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/13208/ThinkPad_P1_Lifestyl...

Images like that have no place in a journalistic article in my opinion. It turns it into a full ad.

Agree, it's a photoshopped stock photo: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/confident-serious-a...

Wow, that's ridiculous. I love how the original stock photo is of a tablet (iPad?) and the Photoshopped laptop is in perfect focus, unlike all the objects around it. If you're going to lie, at least try to do a good job.

It's plausible that the computer would be in focus at that location as it is at the same distance from the camera as the main subject in the picture (and therefore shares the focus plane).

The transition is too hard though, and the screen illumination is ridiculous.

You can do a lot with a tilt-shift lens and selective focus. Not that they did that.

The fake tilt-shift thing drives me nuts. Usually seen on instagram photos of a flat piece of paper.

This might have been intentional.
