anything motorized is doomed to failure before device is outdated due to dust/debris getting inside or the motor straight up failing.

I wouldn't say 'anything'...

it's only e-waste if you can't repair it.
I like portrait screen size.

The motorized screen almost certainly means this 14" notebook will be heavier, and likely a lot more expensive than most 16:10 16" notebooks. Modern day 16" can fit in standard briefcase/backpack so I highly doubt typical white collar workers like the photo in the article will want it.

I've seen another never heard of brand in China with a similar product recently but it is using a flip hinge. The marketing material has the machine targeted at industrial users. Is regular 16" too wide for rack inspection works, or is there that much demand for extra vertical display in industrial applications where enough users are willing to pay the premium? Data centers have been popping up like mushroom. Both Asus and Acer have been teasing similar concepts as well while notably absent are Dell and HP.

My OnePlus7Pro uses motorized camera to avoid the hole in the screen. In 5+ years of constant use it still works like new. Modern day consumer motors have come a long way since the days of Walmart VCR. Engineers, mostly in the Chinese supply chain, have made huge advances in miniaturization, costs and reliability.

I'd say it's more square than vertical
