10 Unique LaptopsHere are 10 really unique and cool laptops. From a dual screen laptop, to a split keyboard laptop to even a million dollar laptop!
The Million Dollar Laptop
UK-based
bespoke luxury goods creator Luvaglio has created the first million
dollar laptop. That's what the first of their luxury laptops will sell
for. Full details of the laptop have not been released at this point,
but it is known that it incorporates a 17" wide LED lit screen with a
specially designed anti-reflective glare coating for clear and brighter
image, 128GB of Solid State Disk space and a slot loading Blue-Ray
drive. There is an integrated screen cleaning device and a very rare
coloured diamond piece of jewellery that doubles up as the power button
when placed into the laptop, and also acts as security identification.
The
Orkin Design Rolltop would definitely be an item in the must-have list
of most geeks, even if it is but a concept at point of publishing. Why
do we say so? This "notebook" comes with a flexible OLED display which
also handles multitouch for those who are head over heels with the
iPhone. When fully rolled out, it ends up as a 17" flatscreen display
but can also be folded into a 13" tablet when required. No idea on
whether it will run on wireless power or not, but it seems as though
the detachable stand will hold the tablet's stylus, power adapter and
USB ports.
This
may look like a Victorian music box, but inside this intricately
hand-crafted wooden case lives a Hewlett-Packard ZT1000 laptop that
runs both Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux. It features an elaborate display
of clockworks under glass, engraved brass accents, claw feet, an
antiqued copper keyboard and mouse, leather wrist pads, and customized
wireless network card. The machine turns on with an antique
clock-winding key by way of a custom-built ratcheting switch made from
old clock parts. When
IBM handed all of their laptop division to Lenovo, many feared that the
classic Thinkpad design would lose its way, but with this improved
design most of the people would be impressed by the laptop concept.
The
sweetness of this amazing Ergonomic Dual Screen Split Keyboard Notebook
Portable Personal Computer isn't only the fact that the keyboard splits
open to give a computer user more room to fit their hands, but that it
has a second LCD hidden underneath it. What a fantastic idea. The
second screen works in concert with the first screen – giving the user
a “drag and send” capability for open windows or programs, or act
independently as a pen-based input screen for note taking, sketching,
and just about anything else a user can do to write into the interface.
This makes the EDSSKN of tremendous benefit to not only writers and
word processors, but artists and designers as well.
Some
girls want the extra attention not only from men but also from actual
gadgets and even cool looking laptops, such as these HP concepts made
especially for women. Each one of these designs by Nikita Buyanov has
its own set of specific that would recognize special pampering that a
girl wishes for; they are classy looking, stylish, trendy and even
provide extra productivity for your personality. Unfortunately they
have yet to be truly manufactured, but if enough would show interest,
maybe next year's HP models would provide a different feminine look
that is made just for women.
This
Dual Touch Screen Laptop from Canova is an ultimate notebook design
meant for the creative mind. The notebook features dual display with
touch-sensitive screens, sketch pad, music score, graph paper, an
electronic pen and a dedicated hardware for its smooth functioning.
Unfortunately, it's only sold in Italy and Australia.
Fujitsu
DJ laptop, as it was called, has a 20-inch primary LCD display easily
folded closed to enable the turntable function, which can be accessed
via a touch-sensitive screen on the outside. The laptop lets you browse
all your favorite tracks same as on a vinyl turntable.
NEC
has teamed up with Takara to create the presumably mad
scientist-approved machine, which sports all the token stickers,
labels, and even wallpapers that make this device so similar to those
seen laying around Duke Nukem laboratories. Beneath the facade is a
LaVie G type L laptop, 15.4-inch display. Flanked on the side is the
very necessary "Emergency Button," which apparently shuts down the
machine in case of unexpected intruders. Launched in 2006, only 300
units of the highly secretive TYPE-NO1 were made costing up to ¥174,510
($1,476).
Felix Schmidberger design for a laptop for 2015 with OLED touch screen. The computer itself has an OLED touchscreen, where you can directly work on, much like with a umpc or pda. The whole screen is a slider, as it can be moved forward to reveal a secondOLED touchscreen underneath, where you can have a keyboard or working controls, similar to a setup with 2 monitors. |
