Now why didn’t I think of this?  Oh yeah, I did! 

     V12 Design has come up with a novel idea: a laptop without a keyboard.  Or, if you prefer, a laptop with an adaptable input panel.  The input panel shown is just your basic laptop keyboard with touchpad, but as you can see, the lower half of this innovative laptop has a touchscreen.

 
     A few years ago, I imagined a laptop with a touchscreen as a lower input panel; the keyboard would be drag-and-drop reconfigurable, or simply selected from a list (qwerty, azerty, dvorak, fitaly, etc) of pre-configured keyboards.

     V12 adds a lot to my original vision.  With the input panel as a touchscreen, the variety of input options is limited only by the space available and your imagination.  It could be a drawing and drafting pad, a keyboard, just a white board, whatever you need.  And, as a display, you could also use both halves to view web pages, electronic books, and newspapers.  Perhaps even games!  This machine would be yours to mould to your liking.

     Man, I should have patented that idea!
