The 'Taptop' mini desktop computer comes as a conceptual unit that will provide users with access to all of their essential computing capabilities without the need for an oversized system.
The 'Taptop' is the design work of Germany-based industrial designer Louis Berger who created the unit with the aesthetic of the MacBook Touch Bar at the forefront of the unit. This acknowledges the growing preference for touch-based interface designs that maintain an elegant aesthetic when placed on a workstation.
The 'Taptop' mini desktop computer sits comfortably on the desk as a unit that can be easily interacted with as required, while the connected screen can be used completely for navigation. This maximizes screen space and eliminates the need for on-screen utilities.
