Laptop concept rolls up like a yoga mat

Notebooks and tablets already offer pretty convenient computing-on-the-go solutions, but Germany's Orkin Design proposes rolling up both devices into one ultra-portable package. 

The Rolltop concept will take advantage of advances in flexible OLED and touch-screen technologies to create a cylinder-shaped laptop computer that can be rolled out to form a notebook, tablet or display monitor. The top of the column detaches and acts as a power plug while the carry strap doubles as a power cord (presumably some sort of battery technology is also included, although this has not been mentioned). The central column also contains speakers, a camera, USB ports and a LAN port.

When rolled up, Rolltop will be 11 inches (28 cm) long and have a 3.26-inch (8.3-cm) diameter. As it's a concept designed to be built in the future, some of the technology kinks are still being worked out, but Orkin has stated its intention is to see this design through to an actual, real-world product.
