about a month ago i saw someone at the local cafe using a laptop with a radical design: it seemed to be like a Al-PB 12", but with the top and bottoms sections inverted. the bottom section was very thin and housed the keyboard, while the upper section contained the screen and innards and appeared to connect to the base/keyboard via a thin, rotatable pedestal. i spied over the guy's shoulder to see if it was running xp or something, but now can't recall seeing any logo.
but what really gets me now in retrospect is this seems like a great design for dispersing heat, rather than having the processor, drive, etc pumping heat directly onto the table top -- air would flow smoothly around the raised screen/body and dissipate more quickly. and this made it seem like a great concept machine for a hot-running G5.
has anyone else seen this machine? would love to know what's in it (cpu, etc) and if there are other cooling strategies employed...
