I wonder if the 12-inch form factor could be modified to support a 360 deg hinge? I enjoyed the Lenovo Yoga's tablet configuration.

I know the comment you're replying to called it a "180 degree hinge", but the linked Ars Technica article states that it "flips around to the back with a flexible hinge, a la Lenovo's long-running Yoga design". This is not clear from the pictures in the article, but was on display during the livestreamed event earlier today.

Good! Strange that their photos don't show this off. Lenovo ad-spend showcasing tablet mode was enormous.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a CloudFlare “wait time” screen at “15 minutes”.

Looks like their entire website is behind a waiting room at the moment.

You’d think they could make their most popular pages static for now and serve them out of the CloudFlare cache, though.

Maybe they're outgrowing the free Cloudflare plan.

Was over an hour earlier today.

It's sort of obvious if you've seen the Panasonic implementation like in CF-RZ line, it's the same setup. The top and bottom halves are connected through a pair of square pieces long as the laptop's thickness. Hinges each articulate 180 degrees to total 360 degrees to allow it to fold like a human knee joint.

The four hinges must stay synchronized under lift force from the user, but I haven't seen that being a problem on a Let's note, so it's probably good.

It is a 360 hinge.

Sorry, my mistake, as others have noted. I corrected my post.

I would love to see one of these hinges as a mod for the Framework 13...

The 13" display panel is like an L shape where the short goes in between the left & right sides chassis. That'd be modifying a lot.
