Designed by Nicolas Gonzalez Garrido, the SoundGate PC is a tablet/laptop hybrid made especially for musicians. It lets them record sessions, transcribe their music, and write out their next single. The tablet has a 10-inch touchscreen LCD and a flip-style QWERTY keyboard. A volume knob and jog dials are found inside and there's even a special stand that would let you prop the tablet in front of you for on-stage performances. At the moment, the SoundGate is only a concept, though design-wise, I could see this appealing to the non-music crowd.

If they really wanted to appeal to e-musicians the screen would be multi-touch. No need for hardware controllers again when you can design your own on screen interfaces!
Please post this again when they upgrade to a guitar strappable version. Its not quite pretty enough to appear in a Duran Duran video.
If this was really aimed at musicians, it would run Mac OS X.
That's about the prettiest UMPC I've seen to date.
Thank you for your interest on the SoundGate.
This was the result of a team effort.
