What I'd like is a folding tablet similar in concept to [1]or Microsoft's Courier [2] with two iPad sized screens. Given how thin the current iPad Air is, or the MacBook Air for that matter, and still possessing decent horsepower, this seems particularly feasible these days. Give it a stylus input device for note taking. You can turn it over laptop style and get custom input layouts for different applications. Balance the thickness/weight of each side by balancing battery on one half, processing power on the other. I've been imagining a device like this for 20 years, maybe one day it'll happen or I'll try my hand at hardware hacking.
