Future Tech - The 256-Processor Laptop


In 2020, only techies will
care about the technology in their laptops. Most users will never even
think about it, because laptops will have so much processing power and
the Internet cloud will offer so much storage. What will matter is
style. Here’s the vision of Lenovo’s Howard Locker, Master Inventor and
Chief of Strategic Technology.

  • Bendable, thin slate folds up to slip into pocket.
  • Screen usable outdoors.
  • 6G, always-on, wireless connectivity reaches 550 Mbps.
  • Thin, light battery lasts 5 to 7 days.
  • 256-core processor is essentially a data center cluster on your lap.
  • Touch screen and voice recognition; virtual keyboard with tactile feedback for serious content creation.
  • Thin, light, 300-pixel-per-inch OLED screen rolls out to any size you want.
  • Very light, strong material, even better than titanium. Entire system weighs half a pound.

This is one amazing concept system. I cannot wait to see something like this. 2020 isn’t too far away. Hopefully we’ll all get a chance to see this type of technology in actions. Here’s a good question: what operating system do you think it’ll run if the OSs of today survived to 2020 Windows, Mac OS, Linux
