This concept for the laptop of the future was short-listed in designboom’s Fujitsu Design Award 2011 competition. The Lifebook Leaf laptop design features an exterior polycarbonate shell covered in amorphosis solar cells. The whole deal is designed to be waterproof, durable and scratch-resistant.
The interior is one continuous touchscreen that can be viewed vertically as a conventional laptop or horizontally as a tablet/wide screen display. The rubberized interior prevents scratching the screen when you flip it face-down for solar charging. The design also features 3 cameras for 3D photography and a 4G module with small OLED screen for alerts. Designed by Carl Burdick and Laura Karnath.
