Lenovo has just unveiled a concept PC that is as surprising as it is innovative. The Mozi, that’s its name, looks a lot like a Commodore 64 that would have asked Apple to design a metallic dress for it. The visual similarities with one of the oldest personal computers stop there, since we have here a priori a battery allowing the computer to be used on the move.
We must not stop at the absence of a screen, since the opening on the top actually betrays the presence of an integrated overhead projector. Note that the product is at this stage a concept and that all the technical details are not known. Here’s how the brand describes the Mozi: Mozi is a smart laptop that displays the image by projection with a low rate of blue light. It consists of a computer unit with a fully extendable keyboard and a separate screen onto which content is projected “.

The brand underlines that it is moreover at this stage of a ” innovative approach to content projection “.
And refuses to detail the technical sheet or to give more information on the availability of the product. The Mozi still got the Red Dot Award, an award for design products – which generally salutes products that end up on the market. If the Mozi eventually embeds particularly advanced performance, then we could quite imagine it appealing to gamers.
