blog.scifi.com — The Compenion is a sleek concept laptop designed by Felix Schmidberger. It certainly looks like the kind of portable PC we might be carrying around in 2015, made more futuristic by its OLED touchscreen, which serves as both monitor and keyboard.

Should have something more like Art Lebedev's Optimus Maximus, i.e., a keyboard that is completely layout neutral. The tactile feedback is not something that we're going to decide we don't need any more when typing. At least, no touch-typist is going to want that anytime soon.Perhaps if it had this: <a class="user" href="http://www.immersion.com/industrial/touchscreen/">http://www.immersion.com/industrial/touchscreen/</a>

yeah bulls**t, flat keyboards are still gonna suck just as much in 2015 as they do in 2007. Too bad Rowena Reed never had to use anything her students designed, life in the trenches would be much more relaxing.

The question is what will the laptop look like in 20X6?! (twenty exty six!)

Furthermore, screens generally look icky in actual sunlight, unless they're uber-bright. Touchscreens look even worse.

This is a half-baked concept, lacking vision. A "thinner" laptop by 2015? Nice deduction, tech gadgets have been getting smaller recently :. they will get even smaller. The touchscreen idea is not new either, this thing reminds me a lot of the Nintendo DS. Furthermore, incorporating a projector into a thin laptop is a neat idea, but it requires video projector technology to be greatly shrunk (will this happen on it's own?). By 2015 I expect to see some truly amazing applications of todays technology. I would hope laptops evolve into something more interactive or organic - it's taken over 20 years to get computers out of the grey box stage and you just predict there will be a smaller grey box for 2015.
