    It's a neat idea, but where are they going to stuff the electronics that makes it work? Inside the baton? It appears to require a greater mastery of miniaturization than we currently have.

    Nano technology and OLED, that won't be commercially available like that for a long while.

    Sony sells an 11" OLED display that is very pricey for what you get ($2500)

    Looks like Dell took up the Sony keyboard style :eek: (spaced apart keys)

    It'd be a great ultraportable laptop, but also a good weapon? :confused:

    Looks pretty awesome. Instead of the keyboard though, they should use a virtual laser keyboard. That would be very neat.

    considering that the roll-up keyboards they have now are only good for so many uses, i would be worried about the durability and lifespan of this type of laptop.

    I want that laptop. It's sweet and juicy to look at, plus, it look like it came from a science-fiction movie or Xenosaga. :D
