    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, ...

    A normal system that can KILL Crysis will cost just over $2,000.


    That's pretty damn good!!! The authors 6 grand figure was just dumb.
