The technology world is always exciting and unpredictable.
It changes all the time. You never know what technology
will be there in the next 5, 2, or even the next year.
30 years ago, nobody thought that everyone would need a
personal computer. 20 years ago, our parents would never
dream of a small, portable PC that we call laptop nowadays.
Over time, thousands of models of laptops of all sizes have
been introduced, but nobody knows what else is to come.
The best we can do is to take a look into the future with
some most amazing laptop and netbook concepts.
Rolltop
Orkin Design has introduced a full touch screen laptop
concept, called Rolltop, which can be rolled up like a
newspaper when you need to carry it around and stretched
into a super screen when you want to play a video game.
As light as a mini notebook, Rolltop provides a 13″ screen
when used as a laptop and 17″ screen when used as a
monitor. It comes with a multi media integrated pen and
even a holding belt.
Nokia’s Scroll OLED Laptop
Another member of the “scroll” family, Nokia’s scroll OLED laptop concept
was conceived by Rodrigo Mercado with distinctive entertainment functions.
The laptop’s extremely colorful images, wide viewing angle, low power
and high contrast ratio make it perfect for watching movies.
It also integrates voice activation technology.
iWeb 2.0
Together with the diminishing size of laptop, the keyboard also gets smaller and smaller
to such an extend that it’s impossible to use without an accompanying wireless keyboard.
Yang Yongchang’s iWeb 2.0 concept solves the problem. It comes with a full keyboard
which can be folded into 3 to comfortably fit with the 6.5’ screen.
iWeb 2.0 also supports multi-touch, gravity sensing technologies together with other
utopian features.
Dell’s Eco-Friendly Froot
It’s hard to say if Dell’s Froot concept is a PC or a laptop
or whatever. Designer Paulina Carlos has made a bold leap
to introduce a computer without either a monitor or a
keyboard. Using laser technology, the concept is able to
project these missing parts on any flat surface. Made of
starch-based polymer with a biodegradable skin, even the
electronic components can be recycled.
Transparent Laptop
Even though this see-through laptop looks pretty cool when
you want to show off with your girlfriend, I still have
trouble understanding why I actually need it. The
OLED-powered display has a resolution of just 960×540
and is about 38% transparent which can make it hard for
you to read if the colors are not really vibrant.
The concept was shown during CES 2010 In Las Vegas.
Roteburu
Roteburu is an innovative concept that hangs between
a PC and a laptop. Besides the cool desk that features a
touch-panel keyboard, it comes with a 22-inch LCD.
