The one downside I could still see is that you can't type with it on your knees. Other than that the i5 version might just be a good ticket to replace my netbook in the future.

FearlessFrog Senior Member Registered: 01/08/09 Posts: 4325 Loc: Vancouver, BC	You're right Skate - Microsoft sold the 'Big Ol Table' surface concept to Samsung, and then paid them again recently to rebrand it to be called 'Pixelsense'. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/pixelsense/default.aspx
