While Asus has already shown off one new concept with their dual touchscreen “flipbook,” they’re setting one more loose – an origami inspired notebook.
According to Asus CEO Jerry Shen, this new concept is the product of work put in by groups of designers from France, Italy and Korea.
Sadly, there are no details as to what platform the machine will be based off of, and no word yet on pricing. But, what we do know is that Asus is planning to release this by Q3 of this year.
If you’re looking to see what this puppy will look like in action, be sure to check out a video here.

The third concept definitely looks to be the best of the three shown. I like the tilted keyboard idea!

I can dig #3, and #2 is for people who like to use their notebook for a coaster I guess. And #1? Entry model I guess.

After watching that video, here's what I see of each three parts:
Part 1: A standard laptop that folds in half, with sreen on upper half, mobo and input on bottom half
Part 2: Laptop w/customizable "skins" or "shells". Think Xbox faceplates
Part 3: Laptop with raisable/tiltable keyboard.
I DON'T GET IT!!!
