    Who sits this close to their screen? And think of the ergonomics—monitor stands were created for a reason.

    • only if the keyboard is detachable. That's way too close to the monitor.dbloc
    • * just saw what you wrote under it : )dbloc
    • Thank god this isn’t an Apple design. It’s just shit fan art based on a purposefully ugly patent application. It’s not Apple design ffs.monospaced
    • Someone at Apple thought this was an idea worth patenting.i_monk
    • 'Purposefully ugly' is a fanboy interpretation of their intent.i_monk
    • People use laptops with keyboards that close though right?Hayzilla
    • People with 27” laptops?deadsperm
    • Purposefully ugly is a way to submit a patent without giving away any real design hints, actually.monospaced

    • The ONLY thing that's a fanboy interpretation is this horribly weird rendering you posted.monospaced

    • Don't just look at the diagram, read the description above it.i_monk
    • Oh please. The language is intentionally vague. They speak of "portions" and use words like "may." The patent is for the integratoin, not the final form factormonospaced
    • IF you really believe apple is that out of touch with design, then sure, go ahead and believe (falsely) that this is a design patent. It's not.monospaced
    • Apple has never, in their history, revealed an actual design before intended. They NEVer would in a public patent. These aren't product pipeline docs ffsmonospaced
    • "IF you really believe apple is that out of touch with design"—the puck mouse, Magic Mouse 2, multipart headphone adapters, those early iMac clunky keyboards,i_monk
    • Apple Pencil, the iPhone 4's antenna locations, and I'm sure more I haven't even heard of.i_monk
    • Now try drawing what this patent describes, at iMac/desktop proportions, in a way that looks nothing like the render above.i_monk
    • Because unlike other patents, this one isn't for the technology but the form itself: a continuous curving glass housing.i_monk
    • does it come with a cheese grater?utopian
    • One advantage of this is you could more easily fit a Wacom in front of your setup.CyBrainX
