Some very unusual laptop designs

So if you want to find some of the most unusual laptop designs that have been invented, where do you look? ZigZag Designs went and looked at the patent office. Check out the full article for all the designs he shared. But here are a few designs to whet your appetite. Hey, you never know. The projection screen designs might actually come to pass one day.

Here's what I know:

The design about Samsung was also used by Vadem CLIO in their ... well ... CLIO HandheldPCs running WindowsCE 2.11 and 3.0. It was (or is?) one of the first PDA sent up to space for astronauts to use. Unfortunately when I owned one, I realised that gravity was not on my side. Lugging a 3lb tablet is not as fun and having DSTN screen is a booboo as well. But the 3-mode tilt-swivel screen is really cool.

The IBM design for a notebook that transforms into a desktop is called a IBM Transnote Thinkpad (or just Transnote) 570 (I think its 570). Check out thinkpadforums.com for shots of it.

EDIT: The "Laptop with stylus." looks like the new AcerNote tabletpc.
