Spotted: Toshiba Shape-Shifting Concept PC

Listen to article

The Toshiba booth had a lot of interesting things on display at the CES floor. One of them is this shape-shifting concept PC that transforms into 5 modes.


The first mode (#1) looks like a regular laptop.

The second one is the canvas mode (#2) — flip the keyboard 270-degrees and use the built-in digitizer pen for a screen.

The tablet mode (#3) allows you to completely detach the keyboard and fold the base back.

There’s also the presentation or TV mode (#4) which works when you rotate the base and detaching the keyboard.

The convertible tablet mode (#5) allows you to flip the keyboard 360 degrees from the keyboard.

Here’s a video of the different modes (althoug they only showed 3 types on the display shelf):

We’d love to see it with the screen turned on but the glass cage it’s in protects it from being manhandled.

Video shows only two modes. How can you have 5 modes?
