Flybook VM Notebook

by Evan Shamoon on November 19, 2007 at 04:21 AM



The Flybook VM ($1,400 and up) started as a concept PC -- after being entered into Intel's laptop design contest, an Italian company (read: Flybook) turned it into a reality (and manufactures it in China, but that's another story). This nifty looking thing's claim-to-fame is its adjustable 12.1-inch widescreen display, which can be pushed and pulled up, down, backwards, and forwards -- much like a desktop computer's flat-panel monitor. This design innovation (for laptops, anyway) comes in handy when, say, trying to work in cramped spaces (like coach class airplane seat). Distinctive looks aside, the VM is also as wireless-friendly as it gets-- HSDPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS, GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, which means you can get online pretty much anywhere in the world and blast music to wireless speakers and headsets. Also: fingerprint recognition and a 1.3 megapixel camera (for Skype or other video-messaging). Oh, and you've got your choice of black, silver, red or yellow.
