MSI intros the Sketch Pad

David Allen — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:00:33 +0000

Initially this design may look like any other laptop, but with a few fine adjustments to the keyboard and all of sudden, it has turned into a graphics tablet that can be used with the pen for input etc. When the task is completed, the user simply switches the keyboard around and its back to normal. This is something that we are all going to have to get used to, with laptops converting into tablets and keyboards converting into graphics pads, what else can be converted.
