I agree that this looks a bit early, but it also seems like a genuinely useful innovation if it can be pulled off.

It reminds me a lot of the first MacBook Airs that sold to a niche market at a premium for a few years until the technology had advanced to the point that they could target a mainstream price point, at which point they became exceedingly popular.

I could easily see the same thing happening here.

I agree. The writing is on the wall... people are ditching desktop computers in droves in favour of handheld/portable devices.

Just as I usually do with any new V1.0 tech... I'm staying away, but am excited about future improvements!
