As in the brief it says; 'This product should be able to sit within the £400 - £1000 common price range.'
The portable computer I have designed is based upon a simple, basic laptop which sits in the existing market at £349-£389, and with the modifications of my design I feel that it would nicely fit into the market at the price of £439-£479. Taking into account the extra bit on manufacturing needed for the chameleon skin sponge layer and the cost of the material itself (an estimate due to not being able to find price for sheets of material).

Final Idea
The Sponged Bagged Portable Computer.
The sponge is chameleon skin, it is heat effective, so it changes colour when heat is applied with the hands. Meaning the pattern on the outside of the portable computer is never the same, and decided on by the user. The colour change only last for so long, so by the pattern created isn't perminant and can be constantly changed.
The sponge layer also provides protection for the portable computer if it is dropped or knocked by something. Also as the portable computer is already a bag itself, it does not need to put into a bag to be carried around.

Main Sketch Work - Laptops
Different styles of laptop that I could use for my 'Portable Computer'. Ranging from the standard flip up, to the sliding and the flip up and twist ones. These are bases for me to start with when developing my initial ideas.
