The Spacetop, a No-Screen Laptop, Now Coming to Market
There may be a problem with the exterior design
It's been just over a year since tech startup Sightful announced their Spacetop, a laptop with no screen. Instead the user dons a pair of AR glasses that are wired to the keyboard, and which reportedly deliver a 100" virtual display with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution.
The company says the Spacetop is now ready for prime time. They've updated the form a bit. The previous prototype looked like this:
As for what the current version looks like when closed, well, I think the company knows the new form is problematic; there are virtually no good shots of the device's closed profile in their marketing materials.
All of the clear product images show it in the open position.
You can kind of get a look at it, closed, in the demo video:

It doesn't look very bag-friendly. That said, I think the killer app for this design would be use on airplanes.
The Spacetop is currently up for pre-order. The units run $1,900 and are scheduled to ship in October.

Every single four-figure price AR device that comes out reminds me that Google Cardboard exists.
Looking busy just got way easier.
According to kguttag.com, it's an Xreal headset, which retails for 500 USD. So that's 1400 USD for the keyboard and computer section (a Qualcomm SoC running a modified version of Android).
