Please. OP's case is such a beauty and you compare it to those ugly gigantic briefcases? He wrote "notebook case" not "another reincarnation of frankenstein's monsters"
Again, aesthetic is something personal and subjective that noone is allowed to criticize ! Both op and what I linked aren't notebook. Let's be honest, it is too thick to be considered a notebook, has no battery so is not considered as nomad .... It is a desktop computer with a keyboard and a foldable screen in place of its top panel, period.
What got me triggered was the "first in the world" that I couldn't allow as a moderator.
Now .... MODERATOR MODE OFF ...
I still think the "notebook" mode is not usable for serious use and the rotated screen + external keyboard doesn't solve anything as you'll have I/O and cables facing you.
It looks like aesthetic was the sole consideration. It is too sick too be serioysls considered as a notebook (and it has no battery). It is even thick than rugged industrial laptop that people hate. It takes more desktop space than an S4 + 60% keyboard + screen and I can predict worse cooling and quietness.
But above everything, I have a real concern about thermals. I might be mistaken but from the render the MB look like being flipped upside down, with heatsink being below it. If this is the case, I can see the CPU burning to its death.
This is how heatpipe coolers work:
And here are thermal performance regarding orientation (-90° being heat source above condenser):
As you can see, this is close to zero !
I fear that
@Philairflow design has vents in the bottom and motherboard flipped. But even with motherboard oriented the good way, you'll be facing the lack of vents due to the keyboard.
Could you like industrial briefcase style or not, they are still superior in many ways:
- They take less desktop space
- They are easier to carry (handle and rugged)
- They have better cooling
- They provide a usable keyboard
Now ..... I like the vertical stand version and the second screen it provides.
