Orkin Design and Sony Show Off Roll-Up Laptop Concepts

Laptops keep getting thinner and lighter, but some concept
laptops take portable to a new level. Orkin Design's Rolltop
consists of an OLED display that can start as a rolled-up mat
and deploy as a multi-touch 17-inch laptop. My beastly HP
laptop just shed a tear of envy.

The Orkin laptop can also transform into a tablet PC operable
with a stylus, or become a standup flat screen display.
A power adapter and other features fit with the carrying
canister that comes with a convenient holding strap.

Sony has also gotten in on the action with concept laptops,
watches and MP3 players that take advantage of flexible OLED
technology. All those went on display at CEATEC 2009 in
Chiba, Japan.

This should get any ordinary laptop user excited. But people
wondering if a lightweight laptop can still pack in computing
power.
