Tried and tested: Slinky laptop

One day, there'll be no more need for wires. The Microsoft technology employed in this 15in LCD screen will go a long way to making that prophecy a reality.

By simply plugging a USB transmitter into your CPU and performing the necessary configuration, your monitor can be freed from your CPU.

And seeing as you get a wireless keyboard too, the ugly computer can now be hidden in the cupboard under the stairs - that is, if you don't want to access any audio or video.

Sadly, the bandwidth between the display and the computer isn't enough to handle data-intensive files. So while you can look at static pics, moving ones will have to wait.

Microsoft says it won't be long until you can watch a film on this display but for £999, you'd want to do it now.
