    hmmm...they should put a larger version of the screen on top of the keyboard, add a hinge to allow it to close, and maybe include a removable battery.

    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.

    @brianhatch: What cables are you speaking of? It has wireless HDMI and Internet. You just need power for when you charge it.

    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.

    Thank you sir:

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a deal!, August 31, 2009
    By suneohair "suneohair" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
    First let me say, Amazon is great. It only took two weeks to be delivered! And that is with overnight shipping! Crazy fast!

    I got in on this supercomputer when it was only $106,414.89. That is a monster deal. It is only $300 and something right now, that is a sucker's price. Who will know you bought a supercomputer if you only paid like $300? Plus it runs better when you pay more.

    The atom processor is great. I can't even see it cuz it's an atom! It runs so fast and once I swear it split.. and when it did it encoded a 3 hour 1080P video in 3ms! Yes, that is milliseconds! I heart atoms. Don't believe me? Well, how much did you pay for this supercomputer? If you only paid $300, you don't get these features. See what you get when you pay $106,414.89?

    The only I don't is why this isn't pre-loaded with unix of XP. I mean, shouldn't you run a supercomputer OS?

    @Josh Immerman: I used to work with that model of Dell and if it is still working with it's original capacitors then it is a rare find. There can't be but a couple of those POSs left in the world still running.

    @reddingofish: yeah, but why is it so unlikely that it got warranty service back in the day and is now being resold? The Uni I worked for at the time had just upgraded to those when the caps started blowing, prob 15k warrantied mobo replacements over 3 months... They were calling in Dell Techs from out of state to get the job done!

    This is probably done to launder money.

    There really is no other explanation, as someone with dirty money would purchase said piece and now the money is legit.

    Not very complicated, plus no one else in their right mind would pay that for this.
