Intel and Toray Ultrasuede have designed a concept laptop that features a microfiber suede fabric. The skin is integrated directly into the casing of Intel Centrino laptop PCs.
Toray Ultrasuede is also used in furniture, automobile interiors and fashions. Perhaps this woman is modeling the skin of your next laptop?
