Here’s something we really wish that we had when we were kids. The Roundbox is a portable computer that encourages creative learning. So instead of stuffy old books, you’re given a digital camera, video game console, TV, DVD player, computer and pen, all bundled into one rugged package. that seems ideal for kids from ages 5-14. The Roundbox offers various modes such as computer mode, gaming mode, movie mode, art mode and camera mode. The touchpad, which can be removed and converted into a wireless mouse, certainly looks interesting, and would manufacture a great design for most laptops too.

This Smartbook does not describe a kind of consumer electronics device, but is a conceptual portable computer instead, where that smartphone can be flipped open to reveal a QWERTY keyboard which can be synchronized with its personalized PC tablet. Definitely something that we would like to see in the real world, but we guess it will remain nothing but a pipe dream at the moment. Since that is but a concept, we guess you can basically imagine it comes with the most drool-worthy of hardware specifications, but it will most probably run on the Android OS considering the Chrome browser is on display here.

Based on a quick glance at the picture above, would you want it? It’s a design of what T3 considering the next generation portable computer, or “Netpad” as they signal it. Truth be told, it looks like a tablet computer with a stand at the back to keep it upright. Granted, it looks futuristic and certainly alluring, and so we certainly wouldn’t mind seeing such a product become a reality. Will we all be ditching the keyboard a few years down the road?
