Concept: Smartbook with foldable keyboard
Had high expectation from iPad but feel Apple didn’t delivered interesting features such as video chatting and calling? Worry not as this new conceptual products promises to fulfill all your wishes! Designed by In-oh Yoo & Sun-woong Oh, the conceptual Smartbook is a 7″ tablet computer with a foldable, portable, and detachable physical keyboard.
The device features an accelerometer, meaning it can be viewed in both landscape as well as portrait mode. It also has a touchscreen display.
Both the smartbook and keyboard can be charged simultaneously when they come in contact through magnet or else you can charge them individually.
One more benefit of this device is that once its keyboard is folded it looks like a cell phone. The folded keyboard has a camera as well as microphone which can be used while talking on call. The folded keyboard can then be used for entering numbers.
Furthermore, the smartbook is based on Google Chrome or Android operating system. And throw in support for an App store and you have a winner in your hand!
From my end, full marks to designers. What do you have to say about this design?
