Flybook was exhibiting a number of its new notebook PC designs at CES this year. These are the first notebooks designed specifically to be “Airline Friendly.” This means that they are able to fit into the cramped conditions of a flight and other such situations by a special mechanism on the laptop’s screen which allows users to easily adjust the positioning of the screen. The LV Model, which is in the above photograph, is based on a 1.66 GHz Core 2 Duo with 512 MB of DDR2 memory (expandable to 2GB). The notebook also features the Intel 945GM chipset along with the ICH7m Southbridge. The 1.8-inch SATA HD is upgradeable from 30GB to 60GB. The notebook also features a DVD combo unit, weights in at 1.64 kg, has an integrated fingerprint reader, and is Windows Vista compatible.

The above photograph shows the mechanism which makes the Flybook notebooks so “Airline Friendly.” The monitor can easily be adjusted forwards/backwards and can also be raised/lowered. When closed, the mechanism can barely be noticed.

The Flybook V33i is a widescreen tablet PC which features integrated Wireless Lan, Bluetooth technology, and WWAN 3.5G. Based on the Intel Pentium M 1.1/1.3GHz, the notebook uses the ATI RC410 chipset along with the RS450 soutbridge. The notebook comes with 512 MB of memory which is expandable to 1 GB.

The Flybook V5i is the compay’s ultraportable tablet PC. Its technical characteristics are the same as the V33i, however, this model has a built-in fingerprint reader and also comes with an integrated webcam.
