    I applaud the outside-of-the-box thinking, but the execution--from the wobbly tent mode to the painful-to-type-on keyboard to the heat problems--really seems lacking. Oh well. I was interested in this as a concept, but I'll pass on this one.

    I watched the XPS 11 debut with some interest and had the feeling that there was no way that keyboard could be good. I also agree with your assessment that it's a tad expensive. Either way no price is good enough to make up for lack of quality input devices.

    Agree on the "innovation is nice, but...". What were they thinking?
