Portable D-roll Laptop Review


The Rolltop concept proposes wrapping a flexible OLED display around a central column for ...D-Roll Laptop is a same concept as the Rolltop was. It is designed by Hao Hua and can be considers as next generation laptop design, as it does away with the book-like form factor in favor of one mimicking an artist's scroll. 

Notebooks and tablets already offer pretty convenient computing on-the-go solutions, but Germany's Orkin Design proposes rolling up both devices into one ultra-portable package. The Rolltop concept will take advantage of advances in flexible OLED and touchscreen technologies to create a cylinder-shaped laptop computer that can be rolled out to form a notebook, a tablet, or display monitor. The concept has been floating around for a while, but has recently received a few tweaks to the design. Although specifics are in short supply, read on for what we do know ...

Rather than carry around a notebook in a laptop bag, full to the brim with all manner of cables, the Rolltop concept proposes bringing everything together in a flat panel display that's wrapped around a central cylinder. The top of the column detaches and acts as a power plug while the carry strap doubles as a power cord (presumably some sort of battery technology is also included, although this has not been mentioned). The central column also contains speakers, a camera, USB ports, and a LAN port.

As you might guess from the name already, can be rolled up on itself due to its modular structure and carried on the shoulder with a comfortable belt that will also serve as the power cord.
