Until a couple of years ago, the term “netbooks” wasn’t really familiar, but thanks to Asus that somewhat redeemed the term with the Eee PC and now we have a new name that might be a familiarity in the time to come - Smartbook. Introduced at Computex Taiwan, the Smartbooks are future prototypes unveiled by Freescale in collaboration with Qualcomm. The designs have been created by Savannah College of Art and Design and the sole motivation has been the future, as the designers have dared to think beyond the clamshell iterations. The one you see above is a candy apple red that unfolds and is divisible into several pieces to facilitate the usage of the mouse and keyboard.
