10 Daily Things

Envision something that combines a collapsible table and a USB laptop cooler, and you’ll see this Laptop Cool Table. While it doesn’t carry a cool name at all, the rather unique notebook accessory turns your laptop into a portable desktop by raising it with quick adjusting legs to a comfortable level. The two built-in USB-powered fans help cool the laptop, and the elevated laptop stand reduces the chance of developing sore wrists and back pain.

The USB Laptop Cool Table requires no assembly, and its independently-adjusted legs can be extended vertically and horizontally, allowing you to set the table on any surface (i.e. desk, bed, couch). The unit weighs at about 2.5 lb., and measures at 18″ x 11″ x 1.1″ when folded flat.

At OLPC’s Global Country workshop today, founder Nick Negroponte unveiled the next-gen XO Laptop, and it totally blows the original away. About half the XO 1.0’s size and more like a foldable book, it does away with the keyboard and trackpad to go totally touchscreen-that’s right, dual touchscreens, straight out of the future, like a kid’s book in Minority Report. Folded all the way out, the displays work like a single continuous one, for say, a sweet game of Pong. Like XO 1.0, the display by Pixel-Qi will look fine indoors or in bright sunlight. Unfortunately, it really is from the future: Due in 2010, they’re aiming for $75 and one-watt power consumption.
