Strapped for space but like computers but don’t like sleeping upright in the corner of your bedsit? Then you need The Computer Bed. Unlike many of those snap-together, flat-packed wobbly PC desks you can buy from the catalogue, this one is also a bed so has been built to last. What you get is a sort of Transformer desk that turns into a decent single bed when you have finished working long and hard downloading Net material of dubious legal status. Described as a model of the a “European Murphy Bed” its operation is powered by gas-assisted pistons so no putting your back out when you need to catch some zzzzs. Sadly, the major difference with this and other desk products is that this baby will set you back around £1200. That’s right, way too expensive for most people in bedsits. Via Engadget
