The growth of technology today is so drastic that people might start inventing some of the most ridiculous of things; my imagination eludes me there. I was awed at some of the designs people would like to use in their Laptops of the Future. Actually am compelled to think that some of these exist as prototypes though.

" MacTab is the complement to MyBook in the high-end. The incredibly thin wireless keyboard is used as a protection cover for transportation. It stays in place with a combination of magnets and notches."

Since as far back as I can remember, I've always preferred laptops to desktops. Don't know why but nowadays it really is a mute point since laptops have dropped in price and can easily match any desktop in specs. As designers, we want to know which are the best laptops out there for us. A random link led me to this helpful article that will show you whats currently hot. Not surprisingly, MacBooks are on the list. I personally think that though they are good, they are definitely overpriced.
