Default ASUS Virtual to Real concept

I just read PC World for April and saw a pretty cool laptop that ASUS displayed at Computex 2008.The laptop in the magazine had a virtual keyboard on a second screen.

I couldn't find any YouTube videos of the one in the magazine but this is probably it. Windows 7 users will benefit from this with it's touch screen capabilities.

Interesting design, i'm scared to know how much one would end up costing.

lol, i remember seeing those sort of designs somewhere, i think it was on a asus site where users made designs for them.

Glad they are listening to people out there , wonder if the accepted designs got a reward of some kind

In the specs it says SSD with drop sensor. Why does an ssd need a drop sensor?

i think a touch screen keyboard would be pretty difficult to use... but i guess with practice one could get used to it.

what so basically it's a dual screen tablet?

although it seems to have a bunch of other funky stuff

dual screen + keyboard on the move - win, inbuilt projector - win also.
