HTC Zara Wants To Have Fun

Electrolux notebook’s concept, which can be used for cooking!

Modern notebooks seem to be capable for everything. They can work instead of you, teach you, entertain you the way you wish and even more. A notebook can be a reliable buddy, a friend or an interior decoration, if you don’t feel warm to your steel machine. But this is not all, as it seems the laptop can also make you a breakfast.

Computers do much stuff to ease our life, but frying pancakes in the morning like your Mom used to do is a science fiction, but believe it or not, it is possible with this new Electrolux Mobile Kitchen laptop. This is not an ordinary portable kitchen range with an internet access function - this is a masterpiece with high-tech power inside. If you ask what will be the future, you can find an answer by looking at this device.

For the moment it is just a concept, but who knows maybe it will become a part of our life, when there will be a universal gadget convenient for work and picnic simultaneously. Dreamed up by designer Dragan Trenchevski, it has a wide use at the camping, fishing or any other place where natural cooking is required and you do not want to set a big campfire. Working outside is a dream of every single man nowadays.

Electrolux Mobile Kitchen is constructed with few secret departments inside. If you open the upper cover, you can find a sliding grater inside, an inductive burner with a changeable surface size depending on the pot size you would like to use and having the heat not wasted away. The upper cover of the device is a display, as every notebook has, but here it is a touchscreen, as the keyboard place is already occupied. So the tablet can be used for recipes search, watching cooking videos in the web, chatting with your friends or post some photos in Instagram.

Chief-cook notebook is equipped with WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, speaker and mic. Add some oil and your life will change forever. All parts of the device are heat and flame resistant and can survive the hot oil splashes. The surface is easy to clean, as well as to stain it actually, but there’s no need to worry about it. It is still unclear when somebody might become an owner of this futuristic miracle. Maybe we’ll be able to see it alive until the end of this year and meanwhile keep in mind to stir your curent culinary chef-d'oeuvre.
