The notebook PC form factor is a very mature and familiar paradigm. Recent innovation has centered on performance (specs) and cosmetics (drawing from innovations in manufacturing technology). Many opportunities remain to re-think mobile computers – Tangent Bay explores how a notebook might better serve today’s multi-tasking user.
Tangent Bay is the world’s first multi-screen, multi-touch notebook: Without compromising activity on the main screen, it allows users to organize and customize the way multiple levels of information are displayed using a unique interactive display area just above the keyboard. Tangent Bay makes tasks that usually live in the background easily accessible.
Tangent Bay springs from Intel’s Mobile Products Group and is a ready-for-production reference design intended to inspire next generation notebooks.
