How small do you predict the laptop will get before it comes full circle and becomes inconvenient? Well likely with designs like the iWeb Laptop Concept they won't have to shrink the screens or the keyboards any smaller. What we have here is your standard sized netbook except it is able to fold up to about half of the size making transport for it a cinch.
Conceived by Yang Yongshang, the iWeb Laptop Concept offers a full-sized keyboard, which I would like to mention, you never see on conventional netbooks. With key size being one of the biggest issues among consumers, this device lets people have a compact computing device without having to give up any of the functionality of a regular-sized laptop.
