hybrid design

50 points posted to Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Laptops by bari4896 May 11

I find laptops to be less than ergonomic. If I set mine on my lap it isn't stable and it's hot. I don't want another item to carry to solve these problems. If I set the laptop on a desk or table I am often not at a good working height and keeping off the front of the panel can be difficult.

I'd like to see a laptop hybrid where the keyboard is in the front of the unit and the mouse retracts into the bottom of the keyboard. I'd like to have the keyboard able to separate from the rest of the unit so that I can hold the keyboard on my lap while the rest of the unit sits safely on a table or desk. Pull out stability brackets on the back could keep the screen from tipping.

May 11		 Have you seen the Dell XPS M2010 system? The keyboard does separate from the rest of the unit, while the base and screen are large enough to keep it from tipping. Have a look.
