Laptops are being built smaller and smaller for consumers on the go. The Orkin Design Rolltop is a laptop that can be rolled up so you can easily transport it to and from work, school or wherever else your heart desires.
Orkin Design used flexible touch-screen technology so that a screen could be rolled out from a casing that looks like a yoga mat and be plugged directly into a power outlet. The strap of the Orkin Design Rolltop bag doubles as the power cord. The casing also has speakers, a camera, USB ports and a LAN port.
The Orkin Design Rolltop is currently in the design phase; there's no word as to when the laptop will enter production.
