I am sorry, but that is retarted. Paying $599 for a screen the size of an ipod touch? DUMB. But an interesting conecept

it is a pretty crazy design and the price for a computer that basic is kind of high, you could buy a pretty decent laptop for that and use that as a way to output hd to a tv, but maybe the parts have been designed to fit in the case in a certain way to justify the price
good concept maybe it will have a future

Yeah tough to say, I think it's cool but this thing has been out since April (from what I read from Engadget) and I've never heard of it until now...

Actually, isn't it saying it's a computer in a laptop... All that means is the keyboard is the computer case, and the monitor is also the keyboard.

Also, I believe the keyboard can output to HDMI, and you can probably plug an external into a usb port on the keyboard and use it.

It has wireless HDMI if I remember correctly, and that accounts for most of the expense.

That would be really really neat. I would consider it if it did.

Yeah it's not very common in many devices as of today, but I'm sure the $599 price tag will come down soon enough...

you are paying for the innovation too, it is a freaking computer in a keyboard.

That would be awesome as an HTPC. Connect straight to the NAS and HD TV without a cable. Brilliant.
