TAIPEI -- Foldable laptops are at least two years away, a senior Intel executive told the Nikkei Asian Review, as the world's top producer of PC microprocessors explores the display technology with panel makers and end users.

"It's early pathfinding now, and we are trying to understand the capability and the limitation of the [foldable] technology," Joshua D. Newman, Intel's general manager of mobile innovation and vice president of the company's Client Computing Group, said Wednesday on the sidelines of an Intel symposium in Taipei.
