Rolltop - The Swiss Army Knife Of Computers

While on the hunt for a new laptop I came across something quite extraordinary, the Rolltop. This revolutionary laptop is still yet to be released and has quite a way to go in its development process before it will be complete but what the developers hope t o achieve really is outstanding.

Rolltop is a portable computer development concept for designers, artists and everyone who would like to have a gadget, which, from an aesthetic standpoint alone, certainly hits the mark. By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multitouchscreen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor due to the support attached to the back of the screen.

As the name suggests, the Rolltop is a laptop that you can simply roll up and carry around once you are done using it. The actual model has 3 main modes (laptop mode, graphics tablet mode and monitor mode) that its user can exploit whenever they need to making it some what of a swiss army knife of computing tech.

But how does it all work? How will this upcoming gadget present itself to the best of its ability?
Well first off it uses "Flexible Technology," this simply means that because the Rolltop can literally roll up into a compact cylinder so too must the wires inside it that make it tick, upon more deeper thought when it comes to computers, tablets and monitors, although some parts may move independantly of themselves, most of these objects are still, at the end ofthe day, solid pieces of hardeware joined together. Rolltop doesnt conform to this and has been designed for upmost flexibility.

In Laptop Mode, the user has controll over a dual touch screen, (the screen and the keyboard) for optimum use when surfing the web. Its also handy to know that in laptop mode, as well as the other two modes, the docking station used to wrap the Rolltop around acts as its charger, making it all the more handy and useful. 

Graphics Tablet Mode transforms the Rolltop into the equivilant of a top of the range Wacom, the keyboard and screen merge into one to create both tablet program and tablet itself.
The Rolltop comes with a hidden stylus on the side of itself so having to worry about going out to get graphics pens is no longer a worry, nor are the constant problems with having to update tablet drivers should they decide they are too old to work.

Last up is Monitor Mode, monitor mode uses the same ideas of the tablet mode in the sense that it merges both screens together to create one. The only difference being it is used for enjoying films rather than sketching out ideas. What is useful about monitor mode is that the Rolltop has a catch on the back of it that can be popped out to make it stand upright like a television, not only does this save you the effort of trying to balence it on your knee to watch films but it also makes it more safer for the Rolltop itself, I'm sure everyone in their lifetime of owning a laptop has had it slide off of their knees and drop to the merciless being that is the floor.

Although pretty much all of the laptops we see in stores today have most of these modes for us to use, I have never seen any do it quite so smoothly as the Rolltop hopes to and I as well as many others im sure, have extremely high hopes of success for this new little gadget. I know I'll be waiting in line to buy one thats for sure.
