Compenion: Laptop for 2015 June 15th, 2007
Only seven years from now this is what concept designer thinks our laptop/computers are going to look like: The Compenion.
The Compenion is a sleek concept laptop designed by Felix Schmidberger. It certainly looks like the kind of portable PC we might be carrying around in 2015, made more futuristic by its OLED touchscreen, which serves as both monitor and keyboard. You can tap away by hand or use the "senstylus" pen to control it, and through a series of docking stations the Compenion will adapt to the environment where you're using it. For example, the home dock might have a projector for viewing video, while the office might include ergonomic stuff like an external keyboard.
It will be more than interesting in 2015 and looking back on a design like this to see how close we got it back in 2007.
Don't know about the name, but the laptop looks mighty what I would like to use right now. However, as good as touch-screens are, I do not know about the keyboard. I still like to have real keys to touch; it is just a familiarity-speed thing. I know where keys are and would have to get a lot better at typing to touch a screen keyboard.
