A leaked Lenovo laptop comes with a transparent display and I can't get my head around why anyone would think that's a good idea

Samsung transparent microLED.

Transparent screens are coming to our devices, we're increasingly told, and it seems like it wouldn't be a modern tech show without some sort of demonstration of a see-through screen. They're pretty, that's for sure, but I've yet to see a reasonable answer to the question of why you'd want one. Lenovo, however, seems to be prepping a transparent laptop concept, which may be the most baffling potential use case to date.

Evan Blass, a known leaker of all sorts of tech-related imagery, has tweeted some new photos of what appears to be two of Lenovo's transparent laptops sitting on a desk in front of each other (via The Verge), with a nice bit of foliage draped in between to demonstrate that yep, that's see-through alright.
