Meet the Laptop of 2015 351
cweditor writes "Like concept cars at auto shows, the computer industry designs 'concept notebooks' to imagine the machines of the future. The 'concepts' may not come to market as-is, but it's likely some of their ideas, components and features will. Take a look at systems you might be using in 7 years. In one, a touch-sensitive screen acts as the system's keyboard and mouse, allowing you to slide your finger across the screen to immediately shut off the display and keep what you're working on confidential. Their associated image gallery includes a prototype for a dual-screen laptop."

Think of the possibilities!
Oh how the Slashdot crowd would love to get their hands on one of these... literally

That's all well and good, but I still have to quickly think of a reason I'm not wearing any pants.

As in, when you hit another car, it gives you obvious physical feedback, such as smashing your face in with the dashboard?
No but seriously, I'm curious what you're talking about here.
