Meet the Laptop You Will (Won't?) Use In 2015

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the believe-it-when-i-touch-type-on-it dept.

robert2cane writes "The Compenion concept notebook, designed by Felix Schmidberger, eschews the familiar clamshell design in favor of two superbright organic LED panels that slide into place next to each other, making the notebook just three-quarters of an inch thick." Really this page is just some renderings of some concept computers that are pretty far out of practical production reach. Some interesting ideas, but mostly a whole lot of 'Yeah, right.'

    I have a Sony Vaio 280p Micro PC. I bought it in 2007, though it came out in 2005. It's small enough to fit in a jacket pocket and I can walk and browse at the same time. It's got wi-fi, bluetooth, 2 cameras, a USB port, a fingerprint reader, et al. Granted, it still has XP on it, but I'm going to put Ubuntu on it one of these days. I'm not about to go back to a full-size laptop, no matter how much cooler it looks.

    Yup, the site is pretty overloaded. Coral cache to the rescue!

    (Not that the site is really worth the effort...)
