    How much does that cost? You may just be better off with a tablet like a Chuwi vi8 and a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo. The Chuwi tablet has the same cpu, RAM, and storage space as that device. Plus it has a micro HDMI out so you can connect it to a monitor. Then when you're not using it with the monitor, you can still use it as a tablet.

    This device is certainly less practical than a tablet, but somewhat fun and old-school. Would have been really interesting if it could be used as a keyboard+touchpad combo as well.

    Only if it ends up costing much less than one of those mini tablet-laptops that include a screen already like the Asus UX205TA for less than $200US that has the same specs as that keyboard. I know it's converted to $200, but that doesn't equate to what it will cost in other markets. And there's supposed to be a refresh with newer tech in those as well with 4GB RAM and actual M.2 type SSD's.
