As concepts go, most designs stand on their own merit and need nothing else to exist for them to hopefully one day go into production. Then there are the more rare concept designs that are completely dependent on yet other concepts to be created in order for the first to exist. Got that? So now that we got that out of the way, check out the “DesCom” by Sung-kyu Nam. Completely dependent on the existence of a giant Samsung media centric laptop computer, this desk beautifully and simply integrates the computer (almost) seamlessly into the desktop surface. Looks great when all together, but when the computer is gone you are left with a desk that has the only distinction of having an uneven surface. I love the idea but I think the negative surface created by the absence of the computer needs to be filled in or have another use. What do you think?

Two updates on Wacom products. This baby Cintiq is now being released in Europe in November. You can speculate when it will be available in the states. Offers all the advantages of the full size 21 incher .But is small enough to fit in your lap.
The Wacom Bamboo is now available at Best Buy. Looks pretty slick. I think it is available in white also.
By the way, Microsoft Vista has built in some tablet controls features now. Many which were in included in Windows XP tablet edition.

The notebook is easy to disassemble, allowing quick access to the internal components.
1. Fingernail recesses allow the snap fit connections to be released, lifting off the casing.
2. The end caps screw off by hand to dismantle the casing components.
