Compal has designed a new concept laptop in the form
of the Compal DuoFlip which the company has entered into the iF world design
awards. As you can see from the images the laptop offers a set of unique
features and allows the screen to flip sideways so the computer opens like a
book. The specially designed hinge allows you to position the keyboard on the
left and the display on the right.
The unique positioning allows you to use a stylus on
the screen while still being able to type on the keyboard next to it. “All two
in one laptops are portable, lightweight and can convert from a normal laptop
to a tablet. But what sets the 13.3 inch DuoFlip apart is its revolutionary,
first-of-its-kind hinge breakthrough that allows it to also be flipped open
like a book. Superior computing is achieved in laptop mode, but close the lid
and with one simple release of the mechanism lock on the top left corner, allow
the LCD touch screen to open sideways. Content creators can freely sketch or
write with the included stylus, as if working on an oversized drawing pad.
Creative exploration has never been easier.”
Unfortunately no information has been released as to
whether the concept laptop will ever make the jump from idea into manufacture,
so no information on pricing or worldwide availability is currently available.
However if the DuoFlip Notebook computer does ever make its way to a consumer
device we will keep you up-to-date as always.
