I never knew how unruly my laptop was until I saw the Feno folding notebook. Feno is a folding notebook computer created by Dutch designer Neils van Hoof.
The Feno folding notebook has a full-sized screen, yet somehow manages to fold down to a size as small as a keyboard. The Feno has a unique look as its keyboard is almost half the size of a regular laptop's, which makes the screen look massive. Of course designing good tech and designing good-looking tech are two different things, and when it comes down to it, I'm sure that most consumers would rather have an awkwardly shaped laptop that folds down into the size of a keyboard than a streamlined notebook that takes the easy way out and folds in half.
