I think it would be pretty cool - if it could be done.

If this was real the price vs performance would probably be too high. Its not really any performance enhancements its just the look of a computer.

It doesn't really look pleasant...

It looks like it would have a LOT of stability issues, it is that or it'll be too hard for it to actually be able to be enrolled that way. Either way it'd end up getting lose and weak.

But yes, price too high and eh performance.



fuck you all

What possible benefit could there be for flexible processor and ram?
This "rolltop" is just a monitor with touch capability that can be rolled up

It can be done, as they have flexible oled's now, although they are mad expensive. I personally like that mac touch concept a lot better (yes i know mac's make people rage)
mac touch

Not as much as using an apostrophe to pluralize.

In any case, it's fake, and we all know Apple is going to make a computer which has zero tactile feedback eventually.

Yes, it's a concept, they both are. But with the current technology, there actually is a high probability that the future laptop will look like this. It basically all is based on flexible OLED technology to become consumer reasonable. Right now it exists, it's just expensive as shit, and therefore isn't cost-effective for the general user.

This video is actually pretty good at showing the MacBook Touch(ignore the kid at the beginning, the rest of the video is good). It looks like basically the same thing, minus the rolling up, which just was pretty silly anyway.

Ultraviolet -- oh yeah probably. think I misinterpreted the original message. I thought he meant moving the flag revealed the base in the sense that it opened it up to being scouted, but what you're saying makes more sense

Sie_Sayoka -- dont those ladder maps have use map settings game type? i remember in a lot of them there was display text showing the maker and other credits at the beginning
[2025-5-14. : 4:42 pm]
fritfrat -- Good point.. maybe in Melee it sets off the hard-coded Capture the Flag logic when they pick up a p12 flag, revealing the SCV
[2025-5-14. : 4:34 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I forget how they do it, but they can preplace P12 units in melee / TvB maps. Maybe unit sprites
[2025-5-14. : 3:38 pm]
fritfrat -- Artosis and Tasteless were chatting on an ASL cast that 6 player maps will likely never happen for competitive SC, but Artosis mentioned how there was a concept of one where a worker had to pick up a flag to get out of their base, which resulted in their base being revealed. That's not possible with Melee / Top vs Bottom settings, is it? Thought I'd ask..

dumbducky -- I am so good at procrastinating
[2025-5-09. : 8:45 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Me too. The general concept is exciting and fun to play, or at least I enjoyed it in the previous Diplo Europe iteration.

Excalibur -- I have no idea if Clans will finish his map but I hope so.
[2025-5-08. : 5:25 pm]
Ultraviolet -- don't count your chickens before they're hatched :P

Excalibur -- Sie is really really good and I'm glad Clans had them do the terrain for the new map. I feel like not enough of Sie's stuff will ever get used on a finished map.
