Looks like I'll be saying goodbye to my Nintendo DSi.

Shooters are very hard on touch screens.
And World of Warcraft.
They dropped PowerPC support in Wrath of the Lich King too, no way in hell they'll support ARM so you could play it on a regular handheld.
And I think a touchscreen tablet or a phone would lack the juice to run the damn thing anyways.

When will you be using a mouse "on the go"?

I was not implying that.

Whatever, you can't play shooters on it well at all unless using it like a normal fucking laptop, end of story.

Mhmm.
Won't a cellphone network or any available 3g network have latency issues?
looks awesome!

I play WoW and other games over mobile broadband and it's just fine.
They should add a video IN for teh lulz.
There needs to be a laptop with 2 source modes.
It will work but it won't be able to run new games ever, games like portal, WoW, quake, and UT are already a few years old. The battery will run out because of the fact it has 2 displays.
I will buy it, see if it works to play games yes or no, and if it does not work well with games i will use it to play music and watch movies on

Then why wouldn't you just get a cheaper netbook? It probably won't have a disk drive anyhow.
[QUOTE=nikomo;27288029]Concept device, future improvements onto Atom, the GPU hasn't been announced yada yada yada.[/QUOTE]
Do you really expect a dedicated card when it already has an Atom?
I mean, the PSU is fucking tiny, like 1 watt or something [sp]sarcasm[/sp], so there is no way you can put much more into a tiny thing.
It doesn't matter what revision of the Atom it is. Most likely single-core, possibly dual.
Bottom line, it still can't play games.

I always wanted something like this

Since the small size, i could go for a netbook but this one seems smaller and the keyboard seems better to work on since i tried the same copy of it (Local store had one yesterday and it was pretty much the same without the LCD display)
I could play wow on my eeepc 900a all on low with the help of a external hardrive as all I had was a ssd, if I had a 3g dongle I could technically be doing the same as this by "gaming on the go"
"- Very small, if its to small you can connect it to your HDTV" Why would anyone buy this to plug into a tv, unless you had a long wire it would be pointless unless you plugged a mouse and keyboard into it in which makes the entire thing pointless. If I had a large amount of money sitting on the side for this and 3g contract I would think of considering it, otherwise I might aswell just get a laptop and a 3g dongle.
What all of you don't understand is that this is the first reveal of a concept and are most likely [b]NOT[/b] the final specs of the machine. It's almost certainly going to be South of $1000, perhaps even south of $800. I don't understand what all of you are getting so worked up about it, it's not the end of the world that a computer that you may or may not buy has specs that you may or may not like. You don't have to write a paragraph about how razer and their products is the bane of hell. Jesus.
Also, if I read the engadget review right, didn't they say something about a capacitative touchscreen?

They get it, I've been yelling about it for 4 pages now.
They just continue to ignore it.
There isn't a lot of keyboards that can change the keys to whatever you want.
hey, they claim that it can play World of Warcraft, and Atom or not, if it can play World of Warcraft they must be doing something right
[QUOTE=Samuelgames;27318515]Software binds[/QUOTE]
This + a keyboard that only changes what each key displays = good enough for me.
Some form of automatic layout changing (Windows Keyboard Layout, if X program is active use layout Y) would be a nice bonus but not necessary.

I will buy this pretty much no matter how much it is.
