Asus Takes Another Stab at Revolutionizing Netbook Market

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.

TFA reads: remove the keyboard.
From the pictures it even seems the screen can be rolled up when the keyboard has been removed.

It is flexible. Bendable to be precise.

Re:Interesting...

The original EEE PC ran Xandros, which was arguably a very bad decision...

Lenovo has something similar...

Though no screen under the keyboard (if I understood the ASUS article right). http://www.crunchgear.com/2010/01/04/lenovos-u1-is-a-netbook-with-removable-tablet/ [crunchgear.com]
