Double-jointed laptop prototype from Intel.

From Intel, a prototype of a double-jointed laptop code-named "Florence" that resembles a convertible Tablet PC, but with an extra twist (literally):

Florence will be able to work like a regular notebook with a keyboard, or users can enter data using a pen. The machine will include a variety of input-output ports such as USB (universal serial bus). One of two sets of hinges built into Florence's chassis, allows a person to open the screen and turn it into a writing tablet. This transformation is achieved by folding back the screen--rotating it backward nearly 360 degrees--so that its cover touches the bottom of the chassis. An additional set of hinges separates the keyboard from its bed so that it swings out from underneath. These hinges allow the keyboard enough movement to fold over a portion of the screen.
