I love how that small is the opposite of the new MacBooks.

- Keyboard vs touchpad

- Connectivity overload (inc 4 headphone jacks ;) vs you need a bag full of dongles

- thick and small vs thin and wide

- practically vs esthetics

I don't have high hopes of seeing it made as described but nice idea. I especially like the kvm mode. That's something I thought about long ago, it sounds like an obvious idea, easy to implement, but I've never seen it done.

The Pandora handheld can act as a keyboard/mouse/joystick/mass storage peripheral over its USB-OTG port, and the Pyra is expected to as well. These devices follow a similar aesthetic, if not quite a similar role - small, chunky, and overloaded with i/o options, Pyra especially so.
