Multi-Function Versatile Computers

The Toshiba 5-in-1 Concept PC Was Unveiled at CES 2014

Probably the most versatile piece of technology to be shown at the Consumer Electronics Show 2014 happening right now is this Toshiba 5-in-1 Concept PC. Now that touchscreens are everywhere and with the new Widows 8 launched last year, Toshiba decided to go a little wild. You might have see ads for laptops that turn into work pads, but this concept computer takes the idea to a whole new level.

The new Toshiba 5-in-1 Concept PC can, as the name suggests, transform into five different kinds of computers. This versatile device can become a laptop, a tablet, a convertible tablet, a canvas and a small TV. Next thing you know, cars will be able to turn into sentient robots and Michael Bay will be directing documentaries.
