The smartphone is being favored by a growing number of users over the laptop when it comes to browsing and reading, so this [MacBook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-bar) concept identifies what could be done to make it more oriented towards the mobile lifestyle.

Boasting a touchscreen design, the laptop concept does away with bezels and features a frame-free design that maximizes screen size along with useable space. This helps to remove the limitations of the display to keep users feeling as though they are working in a more open, airy environment.

The MacBook concept is the design work of Aurélien Salomon and identifies how [macOS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deskminder1) along with iOS 11 could be further integrated together to create a more unified experience for [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macbook-go) users.
