It looks pretty sweet to me. There was a video out showing it with a e-ink external screen on the back of the LCD for PDA-type functions accessible when the laptop is turned off.

I really like the overall design, keyboard, and display. At .7 inches, 2.25 pounds, 14 hours of battery life, what's not to like? (other than Windows. There's always Linux) Now if they could just make a production model that's actually affordable.

The main thing I like about it is the massive battery life. If hybrid drives can provide even half of that, I am very excited for the future of laptops

The Keyboars is Rockin man.

The overall design is sweet as well, may be minus that gold trimming, thats kinda wierd. but I love the idea of flash storage instead of Harddrives

Cheers

That's a slick laptop.. I hate the gold trim as well. The keyboard is also my fave.

I think its an awesome laptop too.. I really like how the back of the monitor is has a smaller monitor in it for pda type work, and I like how the glass for the screen extends all the way out and is not in a frame like all the other laptops..... they keyboard is pretty cool too.

I don't like the "jewelery" look, but I like the dimensions and battery life. Put OSX on it and I'd be set for life! :)

Lets hope it's more reliable than the junk Razr phone though.

The description came up, but nothing else. I think I saw it on Engadget though. I can only imagine the possibilities of putting this to use when it becomes cost-accessible. Roll-up video iPods spring to mind.
