The Flybook VM – Poetry In Motion
Posted on 06 December 2006, at 2:20 pm, by Judie Lipsett
Would you just look at the new Flybook VM? Seeing this new model makes me happy I never sprang for the old…and believe me, I was tempted.
The Flybook VM looks like a regular old laptop, albeit a stylish one, until you see it open…
It’s a laptop, with a height adjustable monitor! 
This is completely genius…
I want one…so I guess I’ll need to sell something. 
They are accepting pre-orders at GeekStuff4U starting at $2878.63, and they’ll be shipping on December 20, 2006. More pictures can be seen on the GeekStuff4U page or on the Japanese Flybook site.
Now let me go wipe the drool from my chin…

Laptop with adjustable screen Says:
December 6th, 2006 at 5:48 pm[...] The Flybook VM laptop may look just like an ordinary laptop, but it aint. The big difference is that you can raise the screen with a telescopic arm hidden inside the body. I think it’s a really clever design, what do you think? [...]

December 7th, 2006 at 4:11 am[...] Flybook VM from Dialogue. It looks like your normal ultraportable laptop except for a raised ridge on the back of the screen which conceals a telescoping arm allowing you to raise and lower the height of the screen. Besides improving posture and ergonomics it’s also apparently easier to fit on your tray table while flying. Hooray! [...]

Not yet…but maybe

It looks pretty cool, but doesn’t it kind of seem like a one-trick pony? I mean, a laptop is so portable anyway, if you need to move the screen can’t you just move the laptop?

Beautifull device, but, is it really worth $3000?
At least the other FlyBooks had GSM/GPRS/UMTS wireless built in and they were ultra small Tablets, this one is “just” a beautifull Notebook…

$3,000 is a lot of money…I sure wish that I could use one for a little while and decide whether it is “worth it” or not. The lack of GSM/GPRS/UMTS wireless is a bummer, I agree.
As far as moving the screen – this one looks like it would be more ergonomic (looking across at the screen instead of down at the screen), and it is also supposed to be better for use in cramped quarters – like on a plane.
Until I actually see one (maybe at CES), I can’t say whether it would or wouldn’t be as great as I think it might be…but in the meantime, if price were no object, I like it.
