The home row of keys will be established the very second you place your fingers on this board, using multi-touch technology. This means your keyboard will be automatically personalized just for you, into a natural, comfortable position, no matter the size or shape of your hands.
When keys are pressed there is tactile feedback through mild keystroke vibration and lighting flare, not unlike the texting on an Android cell phone, for sensory feedback and faster keystrokes.

And, like the trace-texting feature on the Android, keys no longer have to be pressed and fingers no longer have to be lifted, simply slid in small gestures.

For the hard-of-sight and the one-finger typists out there, hovering one finger over one key will magnify that letter to 800% and also off hints for alternative glyphs.
Extreme zooming and panning allows for the near-blind to keep the entire keyboard zoomed in at 800%
A third button allows you to choose an international keyboard setting from over 250 languages. The fourth button is a save, load and reset button.
And lastly, for protection of your forearms, wrists, and the computer itself, this laptop is bendable up to a 90 degree angle, like a flexible Gumby doll to protect the computer from internal and external damage, in the same way steel cars from the 70s evolved into the crashable, crunchable materials of today’s safer vehicles.
It will also allow the user to bend the screen to avoid glare, allow privacy, and conform the keyboard to a customized, ergonomic wrist position.
