Fujitsu unveils Fab concept computer

Fujitsu unveils Fab concept computer There are plenty of innovative brains at Fujitsu, and the Fab PC strengthens that claim. This design study might be vaporware at the moment, but it will surely lay the groundwork for future notebook designs. The Fab PC uses fabric as part of the construction material, complementing the flexible electronic paper display perfectly. While current notebooks come with a display screen mounted on hinges to the main unit, the Fab PC’s display slides down into the base of the device and folds across the top of the keyboard during storage. Since this is just a design study, details on specifications are non-existent. I suspect that it will cost more than a pretty penny should the Fab PC ever be released. At least I can make use of my fabric cleaner sitting in the attic with this one.
