If I ever get to the point where I have sufficient spare change to replace my old-and-defunct laptop (unlikely, given the firearm and firearm-related market prices these days), and if I ever actually see the need for having a laptop again, this might be a good choice. Granted, it is a Linux-only platform, but for a netbook-style computer, that really is not a significant problem – web-browsing, word-processing, and basic image editing are all more-or-less the same, no matter which OS you use.
A few interesting features on the platform, though, stood out. First, its onboard memory is an integrated, upgradeable 8GB SD card. Interesting. Also, the touch screen can not only be separated from the keyboard and used by itself, but you can also buy it by itself, if you want. Of course, the keyboard has an additional battery in it, so it would not seem like such a bad idea. Onboard wifi and bluetooth are kind of the norm, but an onboard accelerometer is interesting… and I have no idea what to make of “internal” USB connections.
Anywise, as I said, an interesting alternative to current options… as if there was any shortage of those these days.
