That was my pointThe Apple patent wouldn't apply to this design...its too specific.
I'm sure they have more then one patent that applies to this.

Looking DOWN at the screen? How uncomfortable for the neck, head and eyes will that turn out to be?
Certainly looks cool and all, but it's totally useless imo.
Pretty much every all in one tilts. Bear in mind there is a huge difference between tilting (what the Apple patent covers) and going full horizontal (not covered by the Apple patent).

(Note: these are models I've actually had a play with in my local store - obviously there are a LOT more by other companies)
What happens when youre in school?
No disagreement there, but Steve openly rejected the thought of a touch screen Mac in their 2010 keynote.
...While Apple has yet to release such a product and may have scrapped the idea entirely...
Apple invented touch and post PC devices
Now Microsoft and its partners are gonna destroy it.....Nobody wants a touchscreen desktop computer. Its impossible to use more than 5 min because of pain in your arm
So thank you Microsoft for trying to limitate users online time to 5 min per hour.
You use a tablet for 8 or more hours a day for at least 5 days a week? That must hurt.
Read the actual patent claims.Peace;[URL="tel:14140439" said:14140439[/URL]]Thanks but I thought it obvious I was referring to an all-in-one that tilted the way the Apple patent showed.

If this idea has been patented by Apple, doesn't that mean Apple can now sue Lenovo?

Steve Jobs would laugh your comment out of this thread.
Here's why: when using a touch display, how long do you think your arms can stand being lifted straight forward vs. resting down on a flat surface?
I sometimes wonder.. do people just bring down non-apple products for the sake of it or because they believe apple's execution of anything and everything is the only acceptable way of doing something???
Apple thought about a totally flat iPad on a desk and thought it was a bad idea.
Considering How Steve did not like using touch interface on vertical surfaces due to arm fatigue, I can see the reason he implemented a tilting screen to more of a horizontal position for comfort reasons.
Of course I also want it to be a Wacom Cintiq at the same time. *sigh*
Well, Steve also said - in his condescending manner - that nobody wants to see video on a small portable media player. That's when iPod's still had click wheel's and the market was flooding with MP4 playback, touchscreen capable devices etc. We all know how that story goes on...

That kind of sensitivity etc in the screen would be awesome. and probably possible in a larger model.
Looks like another Patent lawsuit waiting to happen.
Except Apple has nothing to sue on here. They applied for a patent with a drawing that closely resembles a couple products already on the market, including the Cintiq line produced by Wacom as already mentioned in the thread. The larger cintiq tablets are quite a lot like what is pictured in the Apple patent application, and they precede it. Let's see who sues who

Its hilarious how the apple fanboys seem to think they should get sued over apple's non-applied idea.
I have millions of ideas I've drawn on paper. That does warrant a million patents or the ability to pull a Steve Jobs and sue the hell out of everyone.
