Concept portable computer design
Posted on Jun 19, 07 12:59 AM PDT
Felix Schmidberger has recently unveiled the Compenion concept design for a portable computer, boasting a couple of sliding OLED touchscreens that can be worked with directly, although the power required for two displays will definitely be an issue, especially when you're engrossed in a marathon session of work without a power outlet nearby. Whenever the top screen slides up, the OLED keyboard will be illuminated for ease-of-use under low light conditions. Although there now aren't any nooks or crannies to vacuum cookie crumbs from, I won't be too comfortable with it's lack of tactile feedback which is important where typing is involved.

It's really pretty, but so is Lindsey Lohan. And I wouldn't rely on her to get my work done either.
Your point about typing is spot on. It's a tactile exercise, and you need to be able to rest your fingers on the keys to do it. How do you do that with an entire bank of elevator buttons?
