Toshiba Red Transformer Laptop

BIOS Magazine has a look at the odd looking Toshiba 17″ “red transformer laptop”.

The innovative Toshiba Red Transformer laptop, with its 17-inch flat screen, transforms from the utility of a laptop computer to the fun of a flat screen home entertainment centre.

In creating a portable computer truly adapted to the home user, Toshiba designers have recognised the need to lose the computer-like personality that distracts from a clean entertainment experience.

A unique sliding hinge attached to the back of the screen transforms the computer into entertainment mode by pushing the screen to the forefront. The screen rests on the integrated speaker panel and a removable remote control and keyboard allow the computer to be controlled from afar.

There are very few details in the article, and other than its 17″ screen, and its ability to twist into a flat screen television with “stand”, there are no other specs on the machine. Not even a model number. How disappointing because it looks really interesting.
