Asus Takes Another Stab at Revolutionizing Netbook Market 162
Perhaps most well known for their netbook innovations with the Eee PC, Asus is at it again with their latest rollout at CeBIT Germany. The "Waveface Light," a new concept laptop, can be used as a conventional laptop or converted to a tablet by removing the keyboard and opening it to a completely flat position. Sounds like either a stroke of genius or a "small widget broke and now it's worthless" design issue.

In response I can see Apple introducing: the iSheet....
Casper would claim prior art.
. . . not that that ever stopped Apple or the USPTO before.

I believe this has been attempted many times in the past, but when the users fire up their netbooks a few times only to find that everything still *just works*, and that there's no malware, there are no viruses, no unpatched or delay-patched exploits, they freak and ask for their *windows* back.
Being users finally "in control" of their systems only speeds up their return to lemminghood.
The revolution happened long ago - it's the self-professed Windows experts who've become immovable.
cheers,

Net books are designed to be just powerful enough to surf the inter net . If you make them more powerful, they are no longer netbooks. What you are asking for is akin to wanting to meet a 5' 6" midget.
