Exhibited during the CES 2012, Intel’s Nikiski is a laptop built with a transparent touchpad that can serve as a touchscreen as well. When the laptop is closed, the visible gap then converts into a touchscreen, not only displaying a custom Windows 8-esque “Metro” interface, but allowing the users to view power settings, the date/ time or check out their emails without opening up the laptop’s lid. Intel gives no information about the device’s launching time but announced that the Nikiski will be retailed for less than $600 (USD).

Honestly we seldom see laptop bags redesigned with many new functions, not to mention a bag that actually serves as a charger as well. This amazing design comes from Brad Ascalon, which utilizes wireless charging technology to convert a laptop bag into a charging machine. Now have a look at the bag: its inner tray is in fact the charger and its carrying strap actually contains USB male connector at one end and a plug on the other. So once connect the strap end to another computer or an electrical outlet, and then you can get your laptop recharged wirelessly. That’s not all! The same USB port allows the laptop bag to work as a thumb drive on its own too.

Announced by Samsung, these 14-inch transparent OLED displays will be in the shops in less than 12 months. Let’s wait and see!
