leave all the tech in the body of the laptop.Originally posted by PAH View PostToo complicated.
Just have the keyboard part of the 'laptop' as a fancy docking station, all the real tech would be in the detachable touchscreen part.
When the screen is detached, video and audio are transmitted wirelessly to the touchscreen.
Obviously would only work within a certain range, but it would enable you to detach your laptop screen and pass it around or use it by itself whilst sat on the couch.
You still get all the hardware benefits of a proper computer but without having to lug it around with you heating up your ballsCoffee's for closersComment

I'm sure there'll be a website along soon that tells you what you need to disable for the Psion to have the feature set of the iPad.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
