Open Feature Suggestion for Laptop Designers

There are laptops that have rotatable LCD panels. Whereas I dont see panels that can be raised and lowered.

I have a feature suggestion to make. Look at a monitor like HP LP2465 in which height can be adjusted. If there would be a vertical scale like thing inserted into the LCD panel of laptops, over which the panel can slide up and down, it would be a helpful feature. When we keep our laptops on our lap (or on a table such that our elbow is at right angles which is a nice position for our hands), we normally end up looking slightly down to see the panel, which imposes some strain on our necks when we work for long hours.

If we could adjust the height, it would provide us the comfort of looking straight.

Just drew in a few mins to bring out the idea better. Second and third images show how a laptop with such a feature might be helpful, while the first shows how we as users look downwards to see the panel. Since the panel can be slid over the scale, first image is just one another possible position(when the LCD Panel is not raised at all. ie., the position immediately after opening the lid).

One major problem might be to balance the laptop when the panel is extended, since the Centre of Gravity would have shifted, and also making sure that users dont break the scale over which the panel slides by accident. Hoping to see the comfort of looking straight and working on the future laptops.
