Freescale whips up netbook and smartbook design concepts, waits for someone to notice

Does the world really, truly need another <a href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/netbook/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">netbook News, Reviews and Information | Engadget</a>? How about even a single one of these so-called <a href="https://www.engadget.com/tag/smartbook/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">smartbook News, Reviews and Information | Engadget</a>? Freescale's hoping the answer to both of those questions is "absolutely, yes," as it took the opportunity at Computex to showcase a half-dozen netbook and smartbook design concepts. Granted, there's better than a fair chance that all of the models you see below won't ever leave the render stage, but if they do, they'll obviously be based on one of Freescale's chips. We can't say we're mesmerized by any of 'em, but we're curious if you feel any different -- would you drop coin on any of these machines?
