Intel-backed Finnish startup has turned laptop design upside down

So it's another Surface-style hybrid? Color me skeptical.

I have an SP4 for work, and I still don't think we're there yet. Touchscreen is clunky, and I get phantom touchpresses on it all the time. Outputting to multiple monitors is clunky, and when I have to disconnect the SP4 from its docking station, the resolution gets screwed up due to varying DPIs between the Surface screen and the output screens.

Just give me a better clamshell laptop, please. I know the artists would love a detachable tablet screen that they can draw on, but I don't need it.

Yeah, as far as innovation is concerned, they are about as innovative as lenovo.

I'm sure nobody is especially worried. I see a really bad windows-based ipad knockoff, and a tacky surface knockoff.

Not sure how that's worth the hyperbole there.

I own a surface. It's a terrible form factor full of attractive but poor-performing features. Someone does need to improve the laptop (it's my number 1 go-to device), but these guys aren't it.

I think this dudes are using metal mesh for the touch panel so ghost touches should be in the past
