The Efficient Smart Desk
Since I spend a lot of my time in front of a physical keyboard, I’m always wishing for a better, more efficient way to work around my computer. With that in mind, Dell’s recently announced Smart Desk concept seems to fit the bill. A combination of a horizontally placed LCD touch screen, a vertical video display, and several UX enhancements, the Smart Desk provides multiple desktop workspaces for different tasks, adding another dimension to conventional multitasking. From what Dell has shown so far, I can switch from a touch-driven Photoshop editing session, to writing mode using a touchscreen keyboard, to composing music using digitally-represented piano keys, all at the swipe of my finger. If the concept of the Smart Desk takes off and advances, the days of the physical keyboard and mouse may be numbered. – by Julio Urquidi
