Dutch PC company Tulip Computers is showing off six prototype leather and fabric E-Go notebooks that it will bring to market in October. This multicolored leather-bound laptop has a cheerful, Summer of Love feel.
This certainly reminds me of some classy designs through the late 60s and the 70s. The wooden finish for laptops will bring back the woodgrain effect that was used on car dashboards, car door accents, portable radios and some amplifiers as a way of saying that these objects have class. Also, in that era, hi-fi equipment and large-screen TVs were housed in wooden cabinets and people who owned such equipment saw this as a touch of class.
The leather look certainly reminds me of the 1974 Ford LTD that was sold in Australia. This car had a dashboard that was covered in gray leather with stitching along the top edge. The instrument panel had the woodgrain accent that was also part of saying how classy the car was.
This molding method will bring us back to the days where the leather look or the woodgrain look was a way of saying that it has class!
honestly, It's looks like a cosmetic case with a mirror. And it's slightly tacky. I couldn't imagine spending 2 grand on a laptop that you would be too embarrassed to take outside.
More and more people want computers that look good on the outside. I know what it can do now make it look cool and let me accessorize. Will see& if nothing else it might make a good collectible.
I think is a great idea and I can see the market for it. I doubt I 'd buy one I would not spend more money in look sas I am now with apple, but I wopuld be to concern about the coolong system.
The materials added to the encasings will be helping the laptops keep the heat and this would be a huge no no.

Can a normal user make his own design to insert on the notebook?

My TOOLS don't need to look pretty, they simply need to look like tools.
i.e. I don't paint my Est-Wing hammer to look like a *****... don't mess with my other tools either.
