It sure looks pretty, but what does it do?

A nice concept, but I would rather have a netbook if I wanted portability. If it was to replace a desktop, I'd much rather have a separate keyboard. That's mostly because I'm a bit picky on keyboards when it comes to long term input, so it is worth getting a really good one, compared to what's given with a computer.

I suppose it would work for those who want a simple computer, but want a separate sized monitor. Still, for those, I think the all-in-ones are a pretty good size...
