Asus gets futuristic with modular PC

Quote:
Laptop manufacturer Asus has unveiled its vision of the future — a modular PC that stacks on a shelf

Laptop manufacturer Asus on Wednesday unveiled a blue-sky design for a modular PC that stacks on a shelf.

The separate modules would both communicate wirelessly and be powered wirelessly through inductive charging — something that isn't feasible today.

A user would build their own PC by stacking individual modules — such as hard drive, battery and card reader — together. Full-size modules, approximately the size of a CD, would stack next to half-size modules.
This is defaintly something for the future but the pictures and info make it look very interesting.

Rest of the article is here.

This certainly looks like the future. Hopefully, my next PC will be one of those.

Looks very promising.

Yeah, I thought it looked excellent. Easy upgrade, no dust to clean out of the case (major problem with mine, I've had to get a little hover for it).

Don't know if it'll ever happen or even be possible but we really need something new for design. PC's still look practically the same as they did 20 years ago

Wow, connecting parts of a PC wirelessly, I can't believe I never thought of this. Anyway, I don't mind the extra space, so I'm fine with a big old tower - so long as it gives me lot's of RAM and hard drive space.

It's what is inside that counts. 20 years ago we had tape recorders for hard drives.
