Apple appears to be working on a new concept for the Macbook. According to a patent filed with the European Patent Office, the Cupertino-based tech company is developing a laptop enclosure with a "flexible portion" that "may allow the rigid material to be folded in half and thus acts as a laptop clamshell". In this manner, the enclosure (or a portion thereof) may be created from a single rigid material, while still providing flexibility and bending for the enclosure." The company's "dynamic fulcrum hinge" supports a detachable screen allowing the Surface Books to have two functions. It has yet to be seen whether Apple's version will come with added advantages, or when the brand even adopts this new design, if ever.
