Here's how to make a laptop that would sell billions of units ... well, maybe not billions:
1. have a sensible keyboard layout, i.e. slice off the numpad and shuffle the arrow keys a little to fit the touchpad in on the right (bad for lefties i know)
2. use the rectangular form you just created to have a widescreen screen
3. make it so the screen can rotate a full 280 degrees thus using the keyboard as a stand
4. DVD drive
:-)
i'd buy two
the ONLY reason i dont own a laptop is because the keyboards are stupid. the widescreen solution seems bloody obvious to me. Amiga wants to change the face of computing? that's how
oh, and make it touch screen too, so you can at least "press" buttons on screen.... or fold the keyboard 180 and use it as a data pad!!! woohoo!
edit: to protect the keys in data-pad mode i decided you'd need to open the laptop flat then slide the keyboard up behind the screen. then with the pad facing up on your lap/desk the dvd drive would still be the correct way up. someone give me a job :-)
