Wouldn't it be great to carry a 13" notebook and have a 26" desktop when you get down to work (or play)? Prime, a concept computer by Kyle Cherry, could deliver that in a pleasing notebook package.
While still just a concept, the Prime manages to do this through a clever arrangement of sliding panels. The ideal calls for a machined aluminum body (ala Macbook Pro), and there is room for dual CPUs. With the multiple CPU design, it might be easy to guess what Kyle's intended purpose for the machine is – an awesome portable gaming rig.
However, it could be easy to imagine the Prime being used for a lot of other applications, including business and entertainment applications. With the multiple screen capability I could see developers flocking to it for their work. Business people could certainly impress clients with the added screen real estate without the need for a projector. And who wouldn't find it handy to pull up a video on the side while they go about their computing tasks.
As stated, the Prime is only a concept at this point, but I do hope that it is an example of what the future of laptops might be like. If so, I am excited again at the potential toys tools that could be waiting for us around the corner.
