INTEL NORTH CAPE
Designed in 2012, North Cape was a response to new mainstream input modalities coming into the productivity computing space. This reference design introduced new approaches to the 2 in 1 concept: a fully capable laptop running Windows which could detach into a fully capable tablet running windows. This concept was the first to introduce a push-button detaching mechanism for the screen - rather than needing to fiddle with fussy mechanical latches. Perhaps the most intriguing feature was an adaptive screen function which could expand the pixels to the edges while in laptop mode, but then back the pixels off to provide grip space in tablet mode. We developed this to pre-production stage and presented it on stage at CES 2013.
