MacBook Touch concept
The Concept of a new MacBook I’ve designed…

Based on a work at redj3k.deviantart.com.
Looking around in some forums I see a lot of people who say that this is not a new idea because of concepts like this…

So it’s important to clarify…THIS IS NOT A DUAL SCREEN LAPTOP…
This concept is made by JUST ONE FLEXIBLE, BENDABLE FOLED SCREEN…(this is the innovation, cause when you open the laptop it becomes a tablet pc with wide screen without a “dead-space” in the middle.)
So you can have a real full 13” screen in your pocket…
Every other concept is made by TWO RIGID SCREENS with a cut in the middle…not the same thing at all…
And…iSpine is a cheap, simple, resistant technology made just of hexagonal and trapezoidal rigid little plastic extrusions… So only the foldable screen is expensive cause massive production of OLED screen is just about to begin…
And iSpine have nothing in common with the spine of a book like the guy that posted my work said in Yanko Design…The truth is that iSpine is like the human spine, like vertebral column…
