A foldable laptop???? Who has ever heard of such a technical feat! What’s next, a keyboard you can type on?

What a terrible, clickbait title

The source is Samsung btw

What's the use case for this? Why would I want to replace the keyboard/trackpad with a screen? What will I display on that bottom part that's more useful than having physical keys?

Short Version:

Apple is reportedly working on its first foldable device, which will be a 20-inch laptop rather than a phone, in collaboration with Samsung and LG Display. Despite reliability concerns with foldable displays, Apple seems to be exploring this unique product concept, potentially creating a large tablet-like display that can transform into a laptop with a touch keyboard. The anticipated release timeframe is currently uncertain, with some sources suggesting 2024, while others point to 2026.
