This is one of the latest concepts in UMP's ([Ultra Mobile PC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-mini-laptop)). The **[Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-palm-mouse) Pix-L** which was conceptualized by Jean Hong, looks like a digital clock but its usability (conceptually at this point) goes beyond giving the time.

The Pix-L's [ergonomic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergonomic-computer-mouse) allows for the base to be attached and detached at will according to the needs of the user. The Pix-L can used in bed with a minimum degree of stress and discomfort because of its ergonomic features which seek to provide maximum comfort and support.
