The 'DuoFlip' laptop has been designed by Compal Electronics as a truly revolutionary approach to computer terminal design that offers digital designers with a more efficient way to create.
As the name denotes, the laptop opens up like a traditional portable computer, but will also fold open to the side to let designers use it as a digital sketching tablet as they require without restricting access to the keyboard. This will come as welcome news to those who feel limited by the functionality of their existing laptop, PC or tablet to access everything they need from one multi-position device.
The 'DuoFlip' laptop is slated for launch sometime in 2019 and is the winner of the iF Design Award for 2019.
