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)

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 -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
