 Compenion FOLDED UP Laptop

Compenion concept shows possible 2015 laptop evolution

A slide-up touchscreen panel reveals an OLED touchscreen keyboard which can obviously change layout depending on preference or language.  It’s a multi-touch screen, responsive to both finger-presses and a dedicated pen called“senstylus”; if you need more traditional methods of interaction then you can slot it into any one of a number of docks, each designed for different tasks. 

Challenged to design a portable computer for 2015 he’s obviously a fan of tablet PCs and OLED.

It’s an interesting idea, and undoubtedly a beautiful design, but I’m not sure about the landscape orientation.  Anyone who has actually used a slate tablet PC for any length of time knows that most of the time it’s held as a clipboard, and Felix hasn’t done any renders to show how that broad wrist-rest might impact on portrait use. 

So, for the office you might have a pretty mundane dock with a normal keyboard and printer, while in the lounge at home there’s a dock with a built-in projector for enjoying big-screen films.
