Video: iropod turns your desk into a big-ass mobile computer
Look, we like the idea of an ergonomic workstation with a VESA monitor mount. Integrate a slip-in laptop dock and we might even be tempted to reach for our credit cards. But designer Rad Iliuta seems to have built the computer right into the chassis of the iropod (Interactive Robotic Pod) while fitting it with a battery "as powerful as a car battery" offering a claimed 24-hours of freedom... you know, when you want to pack this into your backpack or take it into the woods. It's said to be launching in the 3rd quarter of this year which by our count gives them until September to get this thing priced and rolled out the door, literally. However, without a single PC spec listed on its website of dubious design we have our doubts about that time schedule. Insane or insanely awesome, let Rad know your thoughts in the comments below. Quickie video after the break.

DAYYM CHECK OUT THAT GIRL ON THE LE-
shit.
Great! Now i can watch porn in bed on my PC!
apparently this thing makes lesbian roommates browse pron together in their rain forest back yard. WIN?
@inteller Hero quote of the day!

Meh. I'd rather have a big mobile ass-computer.
An ass computer?

Looks more like a functional piece of Ikea furniture. Don't sell it to Ikea though, they'll take it and make it soul-less. On that note, couldn't you just sell it as a well designed TV/monitor/ultra-modern office work desk rather than as a portable computer? The future of open plan offices and TV stands?
That's ridiculous... I'll buy it if i get the chicks, too.
What's about those girls? They aren't good looking at all... nevermind!
What about mounting an iMac, the 24 inch has VESA-holes. But the idea isn't bad if it would be more affordable than a laptop.
Why do you need good looking girls? What do you think paperbags where invented for?
Working on this would feel something like nude in public.
There's an apple keyboard in one of the pics. Maybe that can tell the specs.
Great design but really too bad about the built in PC. Would be great as a workstation for the Laptop and connect an extra monitor on top. I Can see my MB 15" on that and the 24" on top, would be cool with a decent pricetag. My guess is that the market for it would be slightly bigger :)
The lifespan of an average desk is what? 10 years for a good product? And a PC?
i can see myself taking my big ass liquid cooled pc to my m8 house or down to the pub,garden and driving(put a engine on it) it along the highway/moterway using one of these all while doing some pron on the internet........ well it would have wifi,bt 3g or gps on it :) :O :S :P!!!
if I typed with a keyboard raised like in those pics, I'd have problemos galore.
What would two Asian girls be doing with an ergonomic robo-pod PC in the garden?
They're just part of the package.
Made in China
A Tokyo Hot video
This product needs a LOT of refinement.
2 Girls, 1 Cu... IROPOD
Skynet should have designed a Terminator to look like one of these. No one would suspect until it went on an killing rampage.
Those women look like they need to go to the loo.
Maybe they are using an online loo-booking terminal.
Err, did they pull the video or is my work pc not allowing me to view it?
those girls have never cooked or studied in their lives....
but why would they need to?
To get a husband?
@sinai
LOL, yeah. Hmmm...I'm an average guy and the way women look is not important to me. I prefer a woman with an education.
You freaking serious?
damn that was to Alibaba
I smell a good DIY project next summer ...
Ha Ha ... the first time I see two people using a keyboard at the same time, one hand at a time
They are using one hand to type, the other to hold each other's hand, how sweet ... LOL
Yes, and the next pic, while less hilarious, is equally implausible: some chick seasoning a dish on the stove with her left hand, while staring at the screen and running the keyboard. Unless she's reading a recipe which says "add one whole jar of black pepper", I don't see this ending well...
I just want the mount system. Screw the built in PC.
This and an old powered dentist chair == perfect gaming setup.
anyone watch Contact way back when? the mount looks like the aliens in the movie... and speaking of mounts, i'd like to mount those chicks......oh nm.
Humorous comments about porn in public aside, this actually has some merit... Not so much in the great outdoors, but I could see a number of commercial applications for temporary displays or promotional activities that wouldn't be hindered by having to run extension cords from the nearest, inconveniently placed outlet.
agree. my immediate thought was using these as mobile workstations in a hospital environment. you see a lot of "laptops on carts" used in bedside patient care nowadays; ergonomically and space-wise, this could prove to be a lot more space efficient, providing that the equipment can be made intrinsically safe.
car batteries suck in terms of long term storage of power. they provide short high energy bursts and thats about all they're good for. analogy fail
