Folding Laptop Concept Offers Full-Sized Keyboard

A niche concept for those who really miss their full-sized keyboards when using a netbook, designer Yang Yongchang has cooked up this folding laptop idea with top-notch spec.

I would've liked to have seen the right-hand side fold out to a large touchpad or even soft mousepad for a little Bluetooth mouse, but could be kept happy with this sturdy-yet-dinky design. Perhaps the designer could even offer bespoke keyboard arrangements, with extra space dedicated to a numeric keypad, or accented letters?

  1. Brilliant idea, but the initial use will offer better results than a pretty photo. Will keep a look-out for this, pocket gadgets are unreal!

  8. It's about time they come out with this. We've had folding micro keyboards for a while, and laptop keyboards generally suck.
