Dubbed Laptimus Prime by Todd Gold, Toshiba's eye catching red transformer is an all in one multimedia entertainment centre, featuring a 17 inch flat screen display, detachable keyboard, and removable remote control.
Ah when Iwas a lad back in the 80's, a TV series tied heavily into sellingtoys to kids was hugely popular. Entitled Transformers, the showfollowed the exploits of autobot Optimus Prime and his battleagainst the incorrigible leader of the Decepticons -Megatron.Optimus Prime, the main protagonist of the series couldtransform into a truck, but why oh why couldn't anyone createLaptimus Prime? - A nifty transformer that could change into a laptop?- (Editor shakes head indisgust.)
Welldesigner Yves Béhar in collaboration with Toshiba hasprobably done the next best thing, by creating the snazzy "RedTransformer Laptop". Ok it doesn't change into a robot, but itdoes transform into a home entertainment centre. Other featuresinclude a 17 inch flat screen display, detachable keyboard, andremovable remote control - all integrated within an eye-catchingdesign, complete with fiery red enamel coating.
Availability and pricing for Toshiba's Red Transformer Laptop has yet to be announced.
