Even if you’re neither of those things, but need a computer system that can perform multiple functions, the workstation is still a good thing to have on hand. The Portable Workstation system looks—and unfolds—like a laptop but it is so much more than that. It features a digital pen which you can use to draw and write on the screen, a cover that can double as a [detachable keyboard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wistron-dual-fusion), and a special hardware/software system that allows you to convert it into a [digital DJ turntable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korg).
