The device contains high grade internal components which allow it to run every program available to civilians without hassle.

Function

The POTER has two modes of function. To switch modes the lid of the device must be opened and closed, when closed the external touch screen is used for Tabletop and when open the internal screen and keypad are used for Personal.

Both modes have an optional lock ability which offers several methods of protection, standard passcodes, lock pin numbers and facial and print recognition are three varying degrees of safety.

Tabletop Mode: In tabletop mode the device is able to accommodate multiple users, with its top panel made of strong glass, it forms a touch screen that covers the whole surface. This mode is designed to allow multiple inputs to accommodate cooperation/competition in both games and applicable programs such as media designers or music mixers.

It can also be easily mounted to walls to play movies and music for a group of people, when wall mounted the POTER, in Tabletop Mode, can be linked to any present systems of the building and act as a control terminal.

Personal Mode: In Personal Mode, the POTER utilizes its internal screen and keypad to facilitate more work based activities. It can still perform all the same functions as the Tabletop Mode but requires the keypad for use, making it suited to a single user at a time.

In this mode the device becomes more suited to using professional applications but does not detract from the usability of other features.

Appearance

The POTER resembles a laptop in design, with two sections joined by a hinge that can accommodate up to 180 degree rotation from closed to open flat. The outside of the lid is a single large screen used in Tabletop mode as stated earlier, the inside of the lid contains a screen with a 1cm border making it slightly smaller than the outside size. On the inside of the base a keyboard and hyper-accurate trackpad are built in for use in the Personal mode.

The device comes in a range of colors and combinations with default color options including: Black, Gunmetal Grey, Scarlet Red, Midnight Blue, Neon Green and Brushed Gold. These colors can be chosen for both the lid and base sections as well as some standard patterns and designs, including semi complex 2D shapes.
