george Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Rolltop Rolltop is a portable computer development concept for designer, architect and everyone, who would like to have a gadget, which, from an aesthetic standpoint alone, certainly hits the mark. By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multitouchscreen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor due to the support attached to the back of the screen. Rolltop 2.0 is a further development of Rolltop with some visible and mostly invisible improvements (e.g. internal design, placement of certain components etc.) -- myrolltop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) All I see is a concept. I have read better concepts in Neuromancer from 1984.

orang37 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Sawasdee Khrup, TV Friends, Yes, that's a neat conceptual prototyope, and, yes, the future rushes towards us ever faster from the realm of the Goddess Techne, but: we'd rather have this fellow in Holland come to Thailand, and make one of these for us right now, and we'd even settle for five terabytes, and a reliable four gigahertz: http://lifehacker.com/5803394/the-compudesk-an-epic-custom+built-all+in+one-desk best, ~o:37; Edited May 21, 2011 by orang37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Yesterday I might have been impressed, but today I saw this: Will we soon be wearing our computers? That TED example is one of my favorites. All the current laptops, nettops, pc's and now rolltops are a variation on the good old typewriter when it comes to interaction with the machine. In over 50 years nothing has really changed. We are still adapting to the machines we use instead of having machines adapted to us. In the TED example the idea is to have a virtual world with which we interact the same way as we do with real world objects. The guy also attempts to blend both worlds. There is not much solid stuff on the market yet but I think that might change within a decade. Edited May 21, 2011 by AgentSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombkk Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 In marketing speak, this is WOW. I hope they find enough sponsors to put some decent computer hardware and software into this design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlest Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Here is a concept for ya Instead of silicone chips in computers ... how about silicone chips in boobs Just wait until Apple read TV and discover the next Ibod invention...

TheyCallmeScooter Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Is cool. But moot until the world sorts out Microsoft. That's gonna take awhile. Or I guess you can enjoy endless silent unattended installations of Active-signed corrupt files deployed smack into your Sixth Sense. Heck, for some people, might still be an upgrade. I'm no fan of Jobs but at least he can spell (a version of) ethics. No porn? lol Jobs. It's gonna take awhile before the bleeding edge stuff will ever find their way to a production line; they just won't be feasible until Microsoft are through. And that might not happen; they've have created an outlaw army of a few million or so (formerly unemployed) bandits with Technet. Micosoft are genius - evil, far beyond the capacity of 99.9% of people to even fathom, but geniuses all the same. Good luck world. I'll pass on the brain implants whilst those criminals are running riot. The roller is intriguing. Seems slightly gimicky though - maybe I'm just not as active as I used to be, but I can't come up with too many spots where I'll be like "glad I brought my roller netbook!"

tombkk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice concept and looks very easy for a hacker to access too... How is that? Back to the rolltop, we don't now anything about the hardware (looking forward to the rollable motherboard) or the software (Mac or Windows, this is the question) yet. While the design of the case is great (I love it), it does need some computing power, and that will be one of the deciding points whether this design has a future.
