Dialogue is building on its range of innovative notebooks, producing what it is calling an ‘airline friendly’ laptop.

A full size ultraportable notebook when closed, the VM’s screen is attached to an extendable column.

Once raised, the display’s hinge allows it to be swivelled. Dialogue says this makes it much easier to use when on the move, particularly when there is a train or airline seat immediately in front of it.

Weighing just 1.6kg, the VM comes with either 30GB or 60GB of hard disk, has a built in finger print scanner, optical drive and web cam.
