Laptop designed to break in half

A new Toshiba notebook features a detachable display that converts into a tablet PC with a snap of the screen while communicating by Wi-Fi

The latest developments in laptop design were also on show at CeBit. One offering is a prototype personal computer that somewhat disturbingly is designed to be broken in half. Toshiba’s prototype Dynabook SS SX notebook computer features a detachable display that converts into a tablet PC with a snap of the screen. The display continues to communicate with the rest of the unit via a wireless connection, powered by its own lithium-ion battery.

Meanwhile if you know your Intel from your AMD microprocessors, and you like elements of both, then you may appreciate a motherboard designed by Elitegroup Computer Systems. Codenamed PF88, the board comes with slots for both companies’ latest 64-bit microprocessors as well as all the latest multimedia and networking sockets.
