Connectivity ports on laptops remain essential for the average and professional user but can detract from the overall aesthetic of even the sleekest equipment, so this laptop design concept is designed to solve this issue.
Conceptualized by Junichiro Yokota for Fujitsu, the laptop concept is characterized by its sleek construction that is devoid of ports except for one on the lower right-hand side. The housing around the port, however, reveals a connectivity hub that can be slid out when needed and tucked away when not to maximize portability between uses.
The laptop design concept eliminates the need for separate connectivity hubs and also responds to the increasingly mobile life of the modern professional who needs to set up a workstation from anywhere.
