A multifunctional portable computing device that may function as a tablet, notebook, or anything in-between.

‘Crowd’ by German Philipp Schaake is a Runner-Up Prize winner (LIFE-DESIGN Category) of the ‘FUJITSU Design Award 2011: A LIFE with Future Computing,’ a competition aimed at the development of PC-related designs that bring innovation to everyday life.

Crowd features a variety of different usage styles including a slate configuration, notebook configuration, and a configuration in which the screen and keyboard are separate. This design idea showcases a notebook that can be flexibly operated to fit any application or intended use. With an emphasis on the notebook’s back cover, the PC can even be operated when closed.
