    Wow. It sure does look like that Clevo 18in revealed sometime ago. This is not an OCZ Whitebook rebrand.

    And a MultiTouch trackpad, Backlit keyboard (with m15x-esque customizable colours), Creative X-Fi audio and a Dual Hinge like the HDX 20. WOW.

    Touchpad on the side? Clever, since most people use their mice on the right of the keyboard, but seriously, I'd have liked it more if they were more traditional and stuck a number pad in.

    Shame. But all I would have done was complaining about touchpad placement and lack of a numpad.

    would have bought that within seconds because of the look could have made it thinner, but looks about as thick as mine, but id have to get use to the mouse pad

    LOL HP hates lefties... they should learn to use the other side of thier brains and become ambidextrous.. wow big words my head hurts...

    HP WHY DO YOU KEEP COMING OUT WITH THESE WIERD MACHINES!?!?

    i mean the pivoting screen HP’s HDX Pavilion 20-inch and remote mounted on the side... i think HP is just making up crap to throw on an oversised frame.

    First remote now touchpad... what next CD Drive or WAIT!!! handgun. that sounds cool.

    Touch pad is where your mouse would be. And it's a prototype, unlikely to ever be produced.
    This is a computer company. Innovation is the name of the game.
    If the were smart, they'd have a an interchangeable slot to incorporate either one.

    The dual screen seems a bit gimmickry. But I guess it would allow for a clean main screen. Anyway, what about the night vision webcam?
