The Dream Notebook of the Community at WePC

December 18th, 2008 in News, by Head Honcho

We have seen amazing notebooks introduced in the market for year 2008. One is MSI Wind, a 10″ mini-laptop with a screen resolution that goes as high as 1024×600 pixels and weighs only at 2.6lbs (1.2Kg).

Another remarkable laptop PC is Toshiba Portégé R500, the world’s lightest widescreen 12.1″ notebook. It has a biometric fingerprint reader, a 120GB Solid State Drive, and a durable, shock–absorbing design.

Other notebooks worth mentioning are Dell Inspiron 1525, Acer Aspire and Samsung Q310.

For 2009 and beyond, the brains behind WePC hope that a community-designed notebook will be on top of everyone’s best laptop PC list.

Computer maker ASUS and semiconductor company Intel have banded together to create WePC, a website where users converge to share concepts about the ideal notebook.

Through WePC, A user can impart any idea for a notebook design. If you’ve always wanted a waterproof notebook, or you want a SIM card slot in your laptop, this is the place to share it. Or you can go the extra mile and conceptualize your own dream PC. Other users can then choose their favorite designs through voting.

This is not just one big brainstorming session.The ideas, concepts and user comments could influence the blueprint for an actual notebook to be built by ASUS.

Who knows? In the future, a PC designed by the crowd may become as ubiquitous as Steve Job’s MacBook.

Below is one of thousands of ideas being generated in WePC.
