    It's apparently targeting lower price and has flip around screen with touch/pen input.

    Looks like a cool product, and I'd be interested to see if it could work as a more capable replacement for my android tablet.

    That said, I'm crossing my fingers for an AMD offering in future. Battery life is a huge consideration in this form factor for me, and Intel tends to be underwhelming at best.

    Can't wait to see the detailed specs and pricing. I am looking for a small and light upgradable device to use as a laptop instead of an iPad/tablet that I can chuck into my bag.

    I thought their laptops were going to get modular graphics (amd or nvidia) graphics. Is there a schedule for that?

    12 inches is almost a tablet. I assume one also has to buy and carry an external monitor?

    Sadly manufacturers decided that everything larger than 15 inches is "professional" and charge ridiculous prices for such laptops.

    if only they designed the 13 with exhaust and intake like the 12. thing melts in your lap.
