A Laptop or A Phone

This is one has a size of a mobile phone, but actually it is a laptop. Would you like to buy one?

Compenion

The computer itself has an OLED touchscreen, where you can directly work on, much like with a umpc or pda. The whole screen is a slider, as it can be moved forward to reveal a second OLED touchscreen underneath, where you can have a keyboard or working controls, similar to a setup with 2 monitors. It is expected that we will have these kinds of laptops in the market by 2015.

Smart and stylish design would dominate the market whenever it will be launched.

Imagination has no boundaries. If you don’t believe it, take a look at this example.

Gelfrog

The green concept here is called Gelfrog and was conceived by the Frog Design team that made it so lightweight and thin so anyone could carry it as a news paper.
It's made from a super-pliable rubberized material that would act like a mobile mirror, picture slide show and even a video projector.

And now the unrealistic part:
Gelfrog uses something like a cloning algorithm that scans people’s outfits to project a matching pattern on its own surface, allowing people to scan images from around and then study different subjects using the same interface.

Rolltop Computer
Check out this flexible OLED Rolltop computer that can be wrapped around a dock in a similar manner to that of a sushi roll, although we do wonder just what kind of battery is able to live up to such rigorous conditions during use. Definitely something we would want to lug around at conferences and on the showfloor to ease our burden of carrying around too much equipment, but will technology be able to catch up with this vision in the near future?
 

Rolltop Computer, is a portable stylized computing device that can act as a laptop, tablet, eReader or even a TV. It reminds one of a roll able aerobic mat with a strap that you can be carry around.

Canova Dual Touch Screen Laptop

V12 Design, an industrial and engineering studio from Italy presented the Canova Dual Touch Screen Laptop to show us all how a futuristic 2-displays system would look like, and indeed it is interesting. 

This notebook would have 2 touch-sensitive displays and more than that they would support the multi-touch technology. 

The concept would be helpful for those that work with graphic editors – one of the 2 displays would be the monitor while the other one would transform into a keyboard but it also provide sketch pad, graph paper, music score, the electronic pen and a special hardware configuration to meet the smooth functioning requirements.
