My old Thinkpad X200T rotates like that, but it doesn't need any motors to do it. Motorizing it seems like it's just adding more points of failure for no good reason.

The laptop is expected to have a 14 inch, 2880 x 2800 pixel OLED touchscreen display with a 120 Hz refresh rate...
Square aspect ratio (nearly) gang!
I suspect this is just a typo, since it's not consistent with the aspect ratio depicted in the mockups. But it would be rad if weren't. And preferably without the stupid display hinge motor.
My 2013 Fujitsu Lifebook does this and has an Ethernet port, five USB ports, two headphone jacks, and a stylus. Seems like a downgrade ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

That laptop is just one gigantic piece of e-waste.
Compaq TC1000 vibes (from 2003)
The rotation is the wrong way. I'd want the screen to rotate to portrait mode.
Stop trying to turn laptops into tablets
