Back in 2009, more than a few people drooled over a concept video from Orkin Design for a laptop with a flexible screen that rolls up into a magic scroll of sorts.
The Munich-based dell 312-0902 battery design firm recently released an updated concept video, but the Dell Inspiron 14Z battery Rolltop is so far no closer to becoming reality.
The Rolltop 2.0 is envisioned as having a flexible OLED (organic light-emitting diode) multitouch display (perhaps similar to Sony's) that can be used as a 13-inch Dell N672K laptop screen or full 17-inch monitor with a stand attached to the device.
When it's not being used, the dell 312-0883 screen rolls up into an 11-inch tube. It curls around a base tower that houses a Webcam, loudspeaker, and detachable power supply and cable that doubles as a shoulder strap. Check it out in the vid below.
The designers say they weren't thinking of dell K903K making Rolltop into a product at first, but were so delighted by the warm response their concept received, they decided to move ahead with replacement laptop battery.
They're now looking for partners and donations to help their cyberscroll see the light of day.
