Intel Looks to the Future with Prototype PC That is Also 27-Inch Tablet

Intel has developed a prototype “adaptive all-in-one” PC that features a 27-inch screen with 1080p resolution. The PC can be docked as a desktop, detached for use as a tablet, or mounted as a television.
The 27-inch touchscreen operates for four hours as a tablet. The PC charges when docked as a desktop. The touchscreen also works when the computer is docked in PC mode.
The current model weighs fourteen pounds, but Intel hopes to improve future prototypes by working with screen and battery manufacturers to make slimmer parts.
Future prototypes will feature 4K displays with about four times as many pixels as standard HD resolution.
Intel also hopes that all-in-one PCs will spark interest in desktop computers. While other companies have put resources and innovation into mobile phones and tablets, Intel believes they have forgotten about PCs. By integrating voice and gesture controls, Intel believes all-in-one PCs can create a valuable market.
Intel argues the all-in-one model works well for businesses, where many can collaborate on one large touchscreen. The screen is also conducive for videoconferencing because of its larger screen.
