Most of us secure a place for our desktop in our office, bedroom or study. Rarely will you see PC in someone’s living room until unless it belongs to the ‘most expensive category’ or it’s decked up with crystals or pimped to glory. Flaunting any such fashionable system is a piece of cake for the Rich and Famous but not for a lay man. So if folks like you and me need to bring our computer system out in open, we can hope that Ben Collette’s trendy conceptual project for Packard Bell sees daylight soon. Named as the Deep home computer, this system too consists of essential components like the CPU, keyboard and monitor. It’s just that the CPU is shaped such as to house the monitor that can slip in between the slotted form.
Fitted with a multimedia feature, you can watch DVDs as well as listen to your favorite music. Giving a tough competition to the portable laptops, the Deep home computer system can also be moved to the place of desire. That’s all we could grab from the designer’s site. Hope to see more details on its techie features too.
On second thoughts, if I have a well-featured laptop, why would I spend money to house this portable desktop?

Interview
Recently, I actually had the pleasure of conducting an interview of one of these geniuses of the design world, Andreas Malo Dyb. I have idolized many of his pieces ranging from footwear to the iphone bag. He has judiciously amalgamated creativity and discipline to give out some truly unique designs.

Desktops are evolving from a simple cabinet, monitor, keyboard, mouse unit to more attractive designs.
As you rightly pointed out, they may not be a good idea as a laptop replacement nor will it make any difference in processing power or usability, but its just the cosmetic changes that may appeal to people... May be for high end stores, hotels etc where showing off is important...
My header says ’face lift’ = cosmetic :)
Deepa, you had mentioned it absolutely right. Thou I won’t deny that these ’face lift’ do make them look good, but thats where it ends... And of course they cost lot more than regular desktops or laptops of similar config...
Its like getting an expensive ”nose job” done where only the shape of nose changes, nothing else :)
