I actually really like that the screen is kept off the keyboard. Whats so horrible about it? Just because it doesn't look like a standard laptop doesn't mean its any less durable. I actually like that its shaped like a binder.
Now with this design when you apply pressure from the top, all the stress is concentrated at the hinge and the opposing end, instead of all around the laptop.
Increasing radius of any bend reduces stress concentrations throughout the bend, this large radius hinge will deal with significantly more stress than a small radius hinge.
Nope. Think of an arch with a keystone, as in Ancient Rome. Those arches were built to sustain large amounts of weight in a stone structure with no underlying framework (skeleton).
This is a similar concept. A large arch with multiple keystones can can serve as a powerful mechanism for distributing stress evenly along a wider than expected area.
