MSI unveiled an innovative prototype notebook PC during a pre-show event at this year's Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan.

Finally, the perfect laptop for right-handed digital artists who demand the performance of a netbook blended haphazardly with the styling of a golf cart.

 

Interesting concept, not sure why this is better than the traditional touchscreen tablet with a keyboard. The touch pad on the top right is nothing to shout about, either, Sony put a trackpoint on the top right on the 7" VAIO U1 back in 2002. Sony has just put this nice little feature back into the new P as well.

uh...looks kind of terrible, reminds me of a thinkpad i used to use back in the 90s...speaking of which, is that a 4:3 screen ??

 

Nope. Just an unfortunately "tall" screen bezel (extra plastic above and below the screen).

 

Ugly, however i do like the concept, i think its got a good chance.

 

I dunno ... somehow for it to be appealing to the folks that would probably use it it would have to be pretty high powered. I wonder what the internal components of the thing will be?

 

This could be a great tool for students if it's priced right.

 

just make me an affordable tablet pc for drawing ffs, not this thing
