Computex 06: Flybook builds 'airline friendly' notebook

Flybook_vm_1 Dialogue, makers of the Flybook, is building on its range of innovative notebooks, showing what it is calling an ‘airline friendly’ laptop here at Computex in Taiwan.

A full size ultraportable notebook when closed, the VM’s screen is attached to an extendable column. Once raised, the 12in display’s hinge allows it to be swivelled. Based on Intel’s Montevallo concept, Flybook says this makes it much easier to use when on the move, particularly when there is a train or airline seat immediately in front of it.

Weighing just 1.6kg, the VM uses a 1.66GHz Intel processor, with either 30GB or 60GB of hard disk and up to 2GB of DDR2 memory. It also has a built in finger print scanner, optical drive and web cam. There was no word on price or availability, but we’ll get one in for testing as soon as we can.
