Aren’t you tired of your PC? By his ugly shape and the way that it looks? Well, this is exactly what designer Apostol Tnokovski was feeling when he decided to create the smallest PC ever made. It’s not going to be like a PDA, it’s going to be a PC with all conventional components (mouse, keyboard, normal screen).
The concept PC is called E-Ball and it’s shaped like a sphere because in Tnokovski’s opinion this is the best shape in nature and it draws everybody’s attention.
E-Ball will feature a dual core processor, 250-500GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, integrated graphic card and sound card, 2 x 50W speakers, HD-DVD recorder, wireless optical mouse and laser keyboard, LAN and WLAN card, modem, Web cam and integrated LCD projector.
Also, the E-Ball PC supports a paper holder and the paper sheet on the holder could act like a screen where you can watch movies or something. This concept PC will measure 160mm in diameter and it was designed for Microsoft Windows OS, sorry about the others. For the moment there is no word on pricing or when it’s going to be available, however, I am sure that everybody would like to see a small spherical PC like this one.
Paper Shit.. hilarious.. xD
Sheet. Not shit.

Cool, but quite impractical. Very lovely to look at, but I doubt that the virtual keyboard would pay off in the end. I hear those things suck on a lot of surfaces, and can be difficult to see in bright rooms.

lol@ paper shit.. anyone? rofol… don’t think it will evar get built, if so it would be cool to see if it can live up to the expectations
Hi,
I’m Apostol Tnokovski from Macedonia. I want to thank you about published story about my design concept, and if you want to see more of my work please visit http://poce.deviantart.com/gallery/#Industrial-design
Thank you again.
PS. Sorry about the spelling mistake in the explanation. My bad.
the paper shit holder? LMAO
I think you meant paper sheet in the illustrations… not paper shit… lmao. Otherwise, very interesting article. I’ve seen the laser keyboard before, but haven’t thought about such a portable desktop. However, it’s round shape would limit its portability… Not many cases designed for it, putting it in a backpack would take up too much space. Round isn’t a very efficient shape. Too much area is wasted because most components and carrying cases are square or rectangular. A video card, for example, would have a hard time fitting in that case, whereas a case of the same volume but a square shape would easily hold it.
What in the world is ‘paper shit folder’ ????
i like the ones entitled, “the paper shit holder” and, “working on paper shit”, the latter being my favorite! i wonder how much a paper shit will cost in the future, probably as much as the computer. “paper shit my ass, son! you’re usin’ the wall!
thanks, ill be here all week.
I don’t know about you guys but I won’t be buying a PC with a paper “sh!t” holder. No matter how cool it may look.
Why does it always say “shit” instead of “sheet”?
cool
but
paper “shit” holder? haahah
“The paper shit holder”…
Love the paper shit holder
Paper WHAT?!
Looks pretty damn cool, but not too sure I ever want to work on “paper shit”.
Come on… paper SHIT? He had to know that wasn’t right…
I like the paper shit holder the best
I need a place to hold ALL my paper SHIT!! This thing has a paper SHIT HOLDER!!
I think I’m in love!
Explain to me why it’s a sphere? Wouldn’t a cube be better, since it then wouldn’t need the highly breakable legs displayed, as well as having more internal space for the same package dimensions? Are we trying to save plastic here?
Excuse me, WTF is a paper shit?
paper…
shit….
“The concept PC is called E-Ball and it’s shaped like a sphere because in Tnokovski’s opinion this is the best shape in nature and it draws everybody’s attention.”
well, it’s safe to assume it won’t be used much in nature as relying on two projectors will give it a battery life of say 20 mins. max. how about *not* designing it for nature, but rather civilisation? maybe make it small enough for your pocket, or a shape that would make it fit a briefcase?
PAPER SHIT? AWESOME!!!
one of your images says paper shit.
you do know what the word shit means don’t you?
HI EVERYONE,
I know about the spelling mistake but it’s too late to repair it now.
In the competition they considered the fact that there are entries from people around the world witch doesn’t have English as their native language and after all it’s not a spelling bee competition.
The sphere shape makes the design special, if I’ve designed it as cube probably it wouldn’t get in to the best 80 at the Microsoft’s next gen pc design competition. As for the plastics, I wouldn’t agree with you because it should be produced from aluminum as eco-friendly material.
Paper shit holder made my day.
we are the future!!
Can you tell me why all the people witch claim that they have seen an UFO, they always say that it was shaped as sphere or dish….? Because they are afraid of the most perfect form. The cube is pure geometrical form, produced by human. The sphere is more natural form. As for the briefcase, I’ve designed a briefcase too.
you may use shit-paper if you prefer to paper shit.

After chating I always need a shit of paper…
but i do like the concept of the puter
maybe in future paper will be made from shit? Who knows
Can’t carry it around. Too big. Needs a bowling ball bag….
So he was serious, I was reading it serious, till the paper shit stuff.
Then I thought, someone is messing with me.
But he meant it. Lol. Sry, shouldn’t laugh.
But it’s such a funny mistake.
Nice concept though. What would be really cool if the gizmo would fly with me.
Like some floating PDA thing. So it could read me my email or show it to me.
No more shit on my sheets
Epic Fail …
Everyone who said this is impractical is full of paper shit, this is AWESOME! What’s the deal with the ‘paper shit’ line anyway??
Paper shit beats me.
Paper shit? is that some kind of Origami or something lol
That is pretty cool. I wonder what the price-tag looks like.
I would hate it if I couldn’t feel the buttons on my keyboard.

WTF is a paper shit holder. You fucking dumbass mofos.
Fabby design! And goodness me, enough with the “paper shit” joke! We have been told it was a genuine mistake, and everybody read it in the diagram anyway =)
Yes, it was amusing, but there’s no need for everyone to say so! =D
Reminds me of the Toclofane, from Doctor Who…
How about:
“The software interface is user friendly and easy to use.”
It looks like they had monkeys write the promo material.
Cool looking PC though. As cool as MAC, but MAC’s are gay so this then becomes a ‘green gay ball”
i like it but it might not be legit
I once saw a square UFO, what do you think about that?
Lol, e-ball will NOT have a HD-DVD recordeder.
PPL get over the paper Shit, it’s a TYPO. Some of you are acting like you’ve never made a typo before, move on. Another great example of immature opportunists jumping at the chance to ridicule and point out another obvious typo.
Uh, nevermind the oragami feces, what about the OTHER piece of shit in this article? An HD-DVD player??!! Lolz!
nice technology, thanks for sharing.
amazing & stylish!
that shit is gay wi will never guy one. SUCK!
What about the Borg? I’m more afraid of the Borg than a Grey in a saucer.
A sphere isn’t a very good idea for an object that needs to dissipate heat. Spheres have the highest volume/surface area ratio possible (which is why bubbles are spherical) and so would have the hardest time getting rid of waste heat. Look at Apple’s really tiny Mac Mini: it’s a rectangular prism for a good reason.
Cool. Not everything needs to be a cube. But by HD-DVD did that mean the dead format?
[...] No word right now about pricing or availability, but Device Daily has more HERE. [...]
The Ugheeg M’ktaq!
Okay c’mon you guys. You all laugh so hard at Paper shit and completely pass over all the other ridiculous points. Like first of all…
“E-Ball will feature a dual core processor, 250-500GB HDD, 2GB of RAM, integrated graphic card and sound card, 2 x 50W speakers, HD-DVD recorder, wireless optical mouse and laser keyboard, LAN and WLAN card, modem, Web cam and integrated LCD projector.”
In a 6 inch sphere. 6 inch diameter sphere. This entire concept is so detached from reality that he’s just assuming people will create specific futuristic parts just to fit in his dung-ball computer.
In fact the smallest motherboard I’ve come across is 120×120mm which would still be 169.7 from corner to corner. But i’m sure this guy with his fine grasp of technology would gladly suggest we simply chop off the corners.
Now with our 120×120mm mobo with chopped off corners, we then add the 2gb of RAM. What’s that? they only make 1gb ram for those mo-bos? Well… we just tape two of them together! yeah that’ll work.
Hmm, a HDD would be nice right about now. let’s get a nice 500gb 2.5″ drive. woo starting to get a little packed in here. what with the chopped up motherboard, the space consuming HDD, and the space taken up by stands/mouse/projectors.
Now all we need are:
-Speakers
-A deprecated DVD drive
-A webcam
-A LAN/WLAN Card
And then we’re done. Sure is a good thing this computer doesn’t need a power supply eh?
Anyways, feasibly with over a thousand dollars you could produce this ridiculously horrible product whose form serves no purpose besides ‘looking neato burrito’… or you could buy a laptop.
[...] is amazing One day, we will wear these on our heads, and they will make us superheroes. I’m also way into the laser [...]
Not thinking I would invest in this shit. And some of you idiots actually buy it
Why not Ball-E, sounds so much better
Don’t dismiss the huge amount of money that can be made just by “looking neato burrito.”
There’s this thing called an “iPod”…
Also, the concept of this computer was stolen from this movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280674/

this is the stupidest invention ever, not pratical one bit, if you ever want to upgrade, fix, good f-in luck. So many damn movin parts too, oh woops my f%#king sheet holder just snapped! Oh look my keyboard doesn’t actually work, and i love how people always draw they’re designs up without any power, where’s ur 120 u f-ckin idiot. oh wait he drew up wireless electricity too. F-off i’ll draw my nuts and make them green and call it a computer.

I don’t see why some of you think this is so far off. Also, some of you fail to realize some of the most basic things we have today. Combine a laser keyboard with a mini PC and Pico projector and this is what you get. Heat is easily dealt with these days. You can even buy decent video cards and these days without a fan, just a heatsink. Ever heard of a mini PC? As far as MB design, it would obviously be custom so current size comparisons are irrelevant.
Hell, with some duck tape and expendable cash for the goodies, I could put together a crappy version of this right now!
Mini PC
Pico Projector
External DVD writer
Laser Keyboard Projector
Wireless Laser Mouse
You combine all that and with some custom work and some flair and BAM! Even throw in an iPhone with the extra space. The ball design would sell too. It would take up less surface space on the table. I’d like to see this in the middle of my conference table with just a small stick for a stand instead of the legs, freeing up the rest of the table for things like …well like paper shit.
And for the rest of you who apparently never worked in an office in your life, we actually have lots of paper shit. I would LOVE for this to come with a paper shit holder. I could project the increased sales right on the email the shareholders sent.
Great finding for future technology………………….
hey thats a nice computer!
i see myself going out with my little ball as a cpu and people looking at me like WT*
nice concept! though i agree it would be better to have one that fits in a breifase for a conference. or even better! a breifcase computer! the computer is implanted IN the breifcase and you let space for paper.
P.S. boring to see all those people stik on the spelling error “paper shit”. damn its not THAT important. the comments are to comment the protoipe. not the spelling
This is the future people ,what is all that laughter about the mistakes ,we are all making mistakes every day ,and nobody laugh to us , when the people will talk like people when they will see something what is meaning future?
If it goes like this …NEVER
So, be a little abstinent
why the custom OS?
couldn’t you just run some form of Linux?
Where are users supposed to keep a blank, uncreased sheet of paper?
Why is it ball shaped… seriously why?
It is a computer, looks don’t matter, its about functionality and performance. Whoever says this is the future of computing is retarded, its just another gimmick
Wow great concept. It’s great to see these ideas go through.
And Wow looks like someone put the comment page out in a kindergarten and let all the kids get around it sniggering on the typo. Wow - feels like being in a really crap kindergarten.
I agree the round shape isn’t too practical. But what the hell, the most important here is someone is pushing the envelope of PC computing and getting bigger ideas. It takes artists to think these ideas which engineers then bring to reality. Sure there are some very dodgy concepts like the round mobo etc, but hey if nobody demands that engineers stretch their imagination we would still be having dinner with a pick axe out of stone.
It’s like all the criticism that Art Lebedev gets for the keyboard he made. Sure it is totally expensive, but hell if you have ever tried using different languages you will notice the utter pain it is to always have to order keyboard or stick little labels on the keys with the accents etc.
Well done keep designing and never mind the kids out there giggling at the typo.
cheers [;-] MarcOzna
in case you thought it was original concept!
oh and it’ll be a very very long time before a bright enough projector can be made that small without overheating! and what’s with the mouse, surely it’s better to have motion tracking for the mouse and a fold out solid keyboard, even have a second minature screen area projected onto a virtual trackpad space. and the overall design would be sleeker if the legs were instead a complete ring that extended on three or more telescopic legs… oh and i’d like the optical drive to make the disc spin in mid air over the laser ? less likely i know but i could go on…
Hi Apostol..i like your newly invented e-ball..hope to know the price soon and i hope that it would be affordable for me..hehehe..by the way, don’t mind what other says..dont mind their nonsense comment esp. about the paper shit..i believe in you that you only got mistake..and everybody got mistakes w/c is they are only aware of..
I agree of marcos says..you’re right boy..hehe..so they are a kids huh..hehe
I agree with what marcos says..you’re right boy..hehe..so they are a kids huh..hehe
hi apostol..i just wanna know if in what company you are right now..what is the name of your company..plz repz asap..thanks
does it has warranty? how long?
very interesting Idea. i like it
this is EXTREMLY possible. optical mice are small and MS has an arched one, laser keyboards are everywhere. as for the micro projector…already solved: Optoma Pico PK-101. someone just needs to get all these together, and a mini mac, or the acer nettop (or any other micro PC), and play a bit of tetris to get it all to fit in a sphere! someone just needs to get creative and they’ll make this!!
how do you get it?
…oh wow this is realy the best.. is this really a multipurpsose thing by its size… this is coolll. yeahhhh.
i want one of those! they look so totaly orsom! =] but how much do the cost it dosen’t say on the websight? =[
I like the idea, not very practical though. Wouldn’t fit very well in my bag with other stuff we girls take with us
Flat or something that folds has my preference. Like the roll laptop. Not sure if the name is correct though. Apologies for that.
WHEN CAN WE BUY ONE OF THESE, NICE GIFT FOR MY SON
how much money does it cost??????????
i love it it is soo cool =]
i realy love it
X) :0
my dad loves this aswell
i think this is never going to happen
it is the best but, it can be better if it would be tuched secreen & mouse like it tuched keyboard
and to build up new pc for that reason can be expensive so, i advise you to build up accesory like usb connection or bluthouth to pc and you can save secreen, mouse, scanner, keybaord are touchable and you can use it as decore for your office, home and dynamic and have a nice day.
yours
Eng. Sohaib M.Mekky
what type of software does it use.ie office and windows
im not luaghing about this but theres is a HILLARIOUS ( ok so im laughing) Typo (excuse my language) paper shit, or is that a proper word that iv’e mistaken. ALSO why is it round in like year 4002 students are going to want to carry that ………..SPHERE …………. shaped gizmo in high school it would preeeety cool if i t could role on wheels or maybeeeeee Fly? your gonna need bowling bag or somthing!?
hahahaha paper shit i still think its funny hahaha
Maybe you could make the colour of your keyboard change? Make it come with the paper already? I think that it would be very inconvenient to have to take out a piece of paper every time you use it. And the stands would be hard to use when you are sitting down on a chair without a table. Don’t make it a ball, maybe a triangle or something? And for heaven sake stop it with the “paper shit” nonsense. Other than that, I reckon that the E-ball is very clever but I highly doubt that it would be in the shops in the future. We’ll see…
guys(and girls) i don’t think that the person who desined it is looking at this (if you are replie >=[ ) the thing i realy whant to know is how much is it!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!??!?!!??!?!!?
oh and lalala this isn’t a compation of who can come up with the weriodest ideas although i’ll second you on the the ‘cool if i t could role on wheels or maybeeeeee Fly?’ and i like person’s ideas about color chandge
maby its called paper shit cos that what it made of? reduce reuse recycle
……
aw you cant send blanks hmm
im puting the paper shit on failblog
Its cool but then again i found this website be googling fake
