I totally don't understand this product. Who wants to have a keyboard with not one but at least 3 cables attached? If the sell is the sideshow screen embedded in the keyboard then I'd rather have a USB keyboard with a screen and a traditional computer tucked away someplace.
I like the idea of this device, and the sideshow touchscreen is pretty clever, but I'm not really sure that I see the advantage of it over a nettop or a laptop, especially when you start adding complexity like wireless HDMI.
If what you're looking for is a low profile living room PC, there's really not any reason that you couldn't just have the PC attached to the TV directly, then use any number of wireless keyboard/mouse combos available for $30-$50 to control it from the coffee table. About the only advantage this would have over that settup is that you could move it from room to room more easily.
Wow, the Wiki article on the Canadian Army has gotten quite the workout on this one. Congratulations everyone, you figured out how to use Google all by yourself! Mommy must be proud. As soon as you get off your high horse, you can go figure out what a joke is.
For me, the box means so little. I just care about what's inside of it. Although, I do wish there was a 64gb option. I mean, for someone like me who is ready and willing to drop enough cash to make it feasible, it would be nice if it were available.
"The only thing that came in this monstrous package is a simple power cord that HP inexplicably shipped in a box sturdy enough to ship the entire Canadian army."
Either you are making a joke by exaggerating that it could hold something that massive, or you are joking about how small Canada's army is.
I'm going to risk sounding stupid here, and assume you meant the second of those two.
So FYI: The Canadian army is actually one of the largest and most powerful in the world. I don't understand where this misconception comes from. As a Canadian living in America, and knowing someone in the Canadian Navy, it is always strange to hear these sort of jokes. They fall sort of flat if you know the truth. It's larger than America's. They just don't USE it. I wouldn't want to screw with Canada.
Anyway, if you didn't know, now you do. NOW YOU KNOW.
If you did know that and you were just using that as an exaggeration, I apologize for my lack of joke interpretation abilities.
@Ryan M. Moore: Oh c'mon lighten up, guys. Just because every American makes fun of Canada doesn't mean you have to pick on the Giz when they take a crack at ya, eh?
