After the MacBook Air - Drop Dead Gorgeous
March 25th, 2008 at 3:00 PM - News by John Martellaro
Artists concepts for the notebook computer we might be using in the year 2015 were published at Computerworld on Wednesday. Some of the ideas seem remarkably PC centric, but do provide food for thought in the era of the MacBook Air.
The first of five pages shows what might be the best design, a widescreen system with a pull down, touch sensitive keyboard. However, the stylus doesnit reflect current multitouch thinking.

The next notebook concept might well have the caption, "Eliminating obsessed notebook computer users one car crash at a time."

Overall, the concepts are food for thought, but even so, Apple fans may get the vague feeling that the designs are already dated and that Apple could probably do a little better in 2011, not even waiting for 2015.
