    This article was posted by ChazMan421 yesterday here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=1334426 but we didn't have pictures at the time and so for those curious, this is what the laptop / LCD tv concept from Intel actually looks like.


    Intel to reveal laptop that doubles as an LCD TV


    On Monday, Intel showed off a concept design of a PC where it folds up, with the screen facing away from the keypad, then slips into a docking station to be used as an LCD TV.

    The docking station itself is unique -- it looks like an LCD TV stand, and has speakers on either side of the screen. Once the 'laptop' is placed in the stand, it turns from a laptop into a TV. Of course it's "only a concept aimed at generating new ideas," according to officials at the Intel Developer Forum. It is meant to save space and the cost of purchasing a laptop and an LCD TV.

    Another one of Intel's concepts showed how an extra part on the back of the screen, similar to a monitor stand, held the screen higher than the laptop. The stand could be moved, allowing the user to fold the screen over the keyboard and watch movies "comfortably on an airplane or any other confined space."

    Wow, look at that. I think we can safely de-qualify both of those from being a laptop.

    Out of them both, I like the second one better where you can fold the screen over the keyboard.
