I get to see quite a lot of technology concepts day to day, and most are absolutely amazing, however some are horrific!
I know that the Rolltop concept has been around for some time now, but I only came across it myself today.
It is grim.
To me, it looks ugly, tacky and extremely impractical. I really hope that they don’t waste their time and money actually bringing this to market, because as far as I am concerned it will flop.
Thoughts? Anyone spotted anything similar that is a bit more practical?

meh – I don’t hate it…. in general I can see the appeal – definitely a smaller footprint than a typical laptop… I’d change some things, like the “stalk” power supply – seems like you could just let it roll onto itself… I’ve had one laptop screen break because the large flat shape invites irregularly shaped objects to point-load the surface…

When it’s flat, it looks okay to me. No one is going to use it with a stylus, though. I couldn’t see any use for having a rolltop myself.
What was up with that music, though?
