The 'DuoFlip' laptop has been designed by [Compal Electronics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rollable-phablet) as a truly revolutionary approach to computer terminal design that offers digital designers with a more efficient way to create.

As the name denotes, the laptop opens up like a traditional portable computer, but will also fold open to the side to let designers use it as a [digital sketching tablet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compal-adapt-x) as they require without restricting access to the keyboard. This will come as welcome news to those who feel limited by the functionality of their [existing laptop, PC or tablet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trimax-pro) to access everything they need from one multi-position device.

The 'DuoFlip' laptop is slated for launch sometime in 2019 and is the winner of the iF Design Award for 2019.
