Tablet Needs: Macbook Touch


Macbook Touch. Designer: Tommaso Gecchelin. The core of this concept is a technology he calls iSpine. Like the spine of a book, the tech avoid excessive compression on the screen, yet allows the laptop to sit in multiple viewing positions. Go from a normal laptop with screen and touchscreen board - to a large widescreen canvas for drawing, presentation or movie watching. To keep everything minimal, ports like power, the mini display, and additional USB are externalized on a “Magic Dock” to keep most of the laptop slim and clean of an array of holes and plugs.
An interesting concept from Yanko Design. I like the idea of a light, foldable, tablet computer. Though it sounds expensive if marketed as a netbook. Link by jkOnTheRun.
