    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.

    The question I have is...
    If it isnt connected to a external display, can the 4 inch screen be used as a primary display? Or is that for certain apps only? That screen would be great for IM's.

    Wow, looking at the PC in a keyboard, I thought I was looking at an ad in the back of PC Magazine, 15 years ago. What was the name of the company that always advertised - zero footprint or something like that?

    The more things change, ...

    Or, you could buy the better PC-in-a-keyboard.

    Hell, it's even got a Core2Quad in it.

    My dad had one of these in the 80's, they were made for video games, and they hooked up to TV's.

    Forgot what they were called, but this isn't new by any stretch of the imagination.

    Think of it as a laptop without the big screen, instead of just a keyboard that you don't understand.

    Commodore put an entire computer into a keyboard back in 1982 and sold it for $595. 27 years later and Asus does the same thing but adds a touchscreen.


    What's next Asus... a new take on the floppy drive?

    @Craig Warrington: Adjusted for inflation, that commodore would cost over $1300 today and be remarkably less powerful. Worst comparison ever...

    @nickexperience: $1300? Actually, adjusted for Moore's law and the decrease in cost of equivalent computing power it would be well under $40. With no internal HDD or floppy drive, and no integral display it was little more than a rudimentary processor with a keyboard. What made it unique at the time was the relatively novelty of it. Most "dumb" cell phones have significantly more computing power than a Commodore 64 had, and can do far more, and are obviously available for around $50... the trick there is the bundling of phone services inflates the price.

    @BeautifulAgony: @nickexperience: Whoa, whoa. Am I on Gizmodo? Did my not having coffee today trip my sarcasm detector? We're talking about a machine from 1982, and you're telling this guy the specs are different, so his comparison fails? 26 years, you asshats! Tech is a little different now...

    Yea I didn't think it was necessary to point out the specs were different, nor did I need to factor in adjustments for inflation.


    I guess in the future I'll resort to using sarcasm tags.

    @Craig Warrington: So what exactly was the point of your first post? Were you criticizing Asus's design for not bringing enough innovation to the all-in-one computer form factor?


    And this isn't even the first copy of the Comodore64 form. Cybernet has been making (and still is) these long before Asus jumped on the bandwagon. I guess they're probably not innovative enough for you either..
