The art of electronic appreciation is in objects like the [Fujitsu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opensource-software-platform) Tray Computer, which communicate a comprehensive simplicity and a clear regard for aesthetics. The portable PC was designed by Robert and Matthew Swinton as a way to make an often ugly object into a piece of elegant equipment. The base of the machine is a smooth wooden block with compartments for a [wireless keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-eliteboard-g1a), a trackpad and perhaps some pens and pencils. This laptop looks much like an old-fashioned writing desk or a Mancala game board. With a deep slot cut for the placement of a [removable magnetized monitor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/base-case), the Fujitsu Tray Computer is sure to inspire some creativity in use.
