Fujitsu is known for some pretty ground-breaking products like the world’s first laptop to bundle palm vein authentication. But this new Fujitsu notebook concept envisioned by Yanko Design will certainly knock your teeth off. They have come up with the Lifebook, a laptop which has a detachable camera and also integrates a smartphone and a tablet.

 

 

While devices integrating a smartphone aren't exactly news (see the newly launched PadFone Infinity Lite), the idea of a detachable tablet and camera is something fresh.

That’s because the Lifebook doesn't have its own dedicated keypad, so it will rely on the tablet for this purpose. As soon as the tablet is integrated into its dedicated slot, the slate will turn into a full-size touch-based QWERTY keyboard. Now imagine how fun that could be.

 

 

The idea behind this unifying device is creating a bridge between our different devices, in an attempt to synchronize all data stored on them. As the official Yanko Design page explains. “The proposed Lifebook is a laptop computer concept based on the principle of ‘shared hardware’. Currently a lot of hardware is wasted when we use separate devices, as there is often a lot of ‘repeat’ of data stored and features.”

Similarly, if I have a processor sitting in my tablet, why can it not also run/assist my laptop? If I have a fully functional camera with its own memory and image processing power, why do I need to have it repeated in my laptop?”

 

Apart from the design feats, there’s not much info about the laptop’s specs, but we can spot a few ports in the pics. The Lifebook should have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and draw power from an Intel Core iX CPU. Furthermore, the screen-size we’re envisioning here is somewhere between 13- and 16-inches with at least HD resolution, but we know Fujitsu can do a lot better. Would you pick up such a device?
