Rats. All that sun we had last week has scarpered. Oh well: you’re better off spending lunchtime indoors today, so there’s no excuse for not catching up with all the latest tech news. It’s all rounded up for you right here in the lunchtime lowdown.
We already knew the Asus AIRO laptop, with its unique Fold/Unfold concept, could be coming out this year, but now we know when for sure: Asus’s CEO has just priced and dated the Asus AIRO, now being dubbed the Fold/Unfold by some, for a release into the wild. Read on for the gory details.
Why wait for the Asus Origami folding AIRO PC when you can just turn your old Eee PC 701 into one instead? That’s what one enterprising Japanese modder has done, giving his old Eee PC the Origami treatment with a touchscreen and new folding look.
Face it: your plain old 13 or 15 inch laptop with a Core 2 Duo chip and integrated graphics is ten a penny. If you’re looking to outdo all the MacBook brats in Starbucks, you need something much more outlandish.
Luckily, we’ve got just the thing… Feast your peepers on the five craziest laptop designs in the world: from three way folds to twin machines, we’ve got them all here. See them after the jump!
How’s this for a concept? An Apple netbook/MacBook Nano/MacBook Mini taking a cue from the Sony VAIO P, and then some. Check out this triple-folding, awesomely wishful thinking, Apple netbook concept after the jump, plus pics!
Asus has already confirmed the AIRO laptop is ready for production, and now we’ve scored this exclusive look at the concept drawings that kicked off the whole product.
Asus sent our jaws to the floor when it unveiled its Oiro origami laptop concept at CES, using an origami style folding mechanism to expand the keyboard when the lid is open, and allow more efficient cooling airflow. What we didn’t realise is that the concept is actually close to being put in production.
