Ever since the sliding screen prototype tablet at WinHEC I have thought that ,what is now the Acer C200, is a great new design for a convertible but perhaps doesn't go quite far enough.
One of the advantages of a convertible is that when closd the screen is protected - not so with the C200, the screen is exposed like a slate.
How about if we had a sliding screen like on C200 but it could also be folded over so that the screen can be laid flat against the keyboard screen side down thus protecting it like a rotating convertible?
Perhaps this would be done with arms that run alongside the screen rather than the support that sits behind the screen on the C200.
What do you think?
