Sony and Orkin Design have both debuted roll-up laptops at this year’s CEATEC, but they’re a little late to the party. The laptops share a lot of eerie similarities to the Hao Hua design we saw back in April. Both roll-up into a scroll, use OLED screens and both even have carrying straps.Sony and Orkin Design have both debuted roll-up laptops at this year’s CEATEC, but... more
Maybe 15 years ago I saw a similar flexible display on NOVA, nice to see the dream lives on! This concept video stems from an "OLED-Display technology and a multi touch screen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor." [sic]
This video comes from a German design team that has a plethora of other concepts, an active geek tank! http://www.orkin-design.de

It's not every day that someone attempts to redesign the humble laptop cushion, but Philips has done just that with its new CushionSpeaker which, somehow, someway manages to combine a cushion and a speaker. As our pals at Engadget Spanish found out first-hand at IFA, that combination actually delivers mostly as promised, but not without a few trade-offs.
The good news is that speaker does seem to be of reasonable quality, and should be an improvement over most laptop speakers (the retractable USB cord is also a nice touch). On the downside, while the cushion is apparently suitably cushiony, the hard plastic surface isn't exactly the most conductive to keeping your laptop in place -- such are the perils of innovation. Hit up the link below for a closer look, and look for the CushionSpeaker to be available sometime soon (in Europe, at least) for €69, or just under $100.It's not every day that someone attempts to redesign the humble laptop cushion, but... more

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Apple may have some of the most interesting online ads we've seen in a while, but Microsoft's recent push to paint the competitor as pricey is starting to work, according to data from BrandIndex.
The 'Laptop Hunters' campaign has helped Microsoft's 'value perception' rise according to data from BrandIndex.
The perceptions of value the two brands offer has shifted dramatically in the eyes of 18- to 34-years-olds since Microsoft began running its "Laptop Hunters" campaign in late March. Apple's "value perception" has fallen considerably, while Microsoft's has risen.
The latest push documents several people hunting for a laptop, with the promise that if they can find everything they're looking for in a laptop for less than $1,000, the marketer will pay for the computer. The chosen ones shop both Windows-based PCs and Apple products before, naturally, finding what they need for the right price in a PC.
Based on daily interviews of 5,000 people, BrandIndex found the age group gave Apple its highest rating in late winter, when it notched a value score of 70 on a scale of -100 to 100 (a score of zero means that people are giving equal amounts of positive and negative feedback about a brand). But its score began to fall shortly after and, despite brief rallies, hovers around 12.4 today.
Microsoft, on the other hand, has risen from near zero in early February to a value-perception score of 46.2.NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Apple may have some of the most interesting online ads we've... more

Many people believe that laptop data security is too expensive to make it worthwhile. However there is a potential cost that can extend far beyond the time to re-key data or to download a backup file from a disk or network computer. While it is true that laptop data security is likely to prevent the loss of important information, it is also true that there is a cost for effective security. When compared to the tangible and intangible losses that could occur if the data on your laptop is lost or stolen, the price of data security seems negligible.Many people believe that laptop data security is too expensive to make it worthwhile.... more
