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?

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!

It looks useful, but my standard laptop keyboard seems to be just enough.

Really liking that - I do not like using laptop keyboards at all, and the ones on netbooks are even worse!

I have a feeling those are going to break like made due to accidents. Thing looks massive and unwieldy

It's a cool design, but I don't think I would use it...

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

The keys leave a lot to be desired. The basic concept is ok, though.
