Creativity is a gift, and discovering someone with a creative flair is a joy. I guess that’s part of why I like Macs so much; they look so good. Well, Yann le Coroller is a person with a knack for coming up with improvements to make the Mac (among other things) even better.
The pic is of one of his designs called the Mactab, an ultra-portable tablet Mac. The wireless keyboard protects the screen while in transit by clipping on using magnets. The tablet/screen has a stand built-in to allow you to orient it more like a traditional monitor (i.e. upright).
This is an absolutely gorgeous design – I really wish it was actually in production. With the advent of the Macbook Air, super-thin Macs aren’t fantasy any more, and the Modbook already provides for the tablet Mac market, so you never know… perhaps one day.
Check out Yann’s site, and his designs – especially the myBook, a small, semi-ruggedised Macbook that I also wish were actually available.
A very big thanks to Yann, not only for letting me use one of his images here, but for uploading a new version of his renderings for me! This article was originally posted in April 2008.
