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

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.'

'Futurism' reflects the current age

Ok, not all of it, but most of it.

Case in point? Look at the holographic shark that jumps out of the cinema and bites Marty McFly in Back to the Future II. It looks so 80s because, well, it was made in the 80s. It is likely that even 7 years from now there will be technology which hasn't been invented yet that will be incorporated in every computer -- that is, assuming notebooks are even considered reasonable any more... i personally expect things to go more the way of the iPhone/Archos for portable computation.

It's already bad enough getting rear-ended by some asshole at an intersection who can't wait until he gets home to ask his daughter how her fucking math test went, or ending up in a pileup because some exec suddenly realizes he's not checked his email in *over 2 minutes* as he's driving along the interstate at 70 mph.
