Eee PC in a Keyboard

Okay, this is kinda cool. Not really a netbook, but it does have the same architecture.

I think it's very cool. I'd much rather get that than a standard nettop if I was in the market for one.

And like some of the posts on Wired mentioned, it's reminiscent of several 80's era computers that came with everything but the display. I think it was Apple that started the trend with the IIc and its built-in 5.25" floppy drive to the right, which Commodore then copied for the Amiga 500 and 1200 (3.5") and Atari for its 1040ST. There was a prototype Commodore 128D variant that sported a 1581-style 3.5" floppy instead of the 1571-style 5.25" floppy, mounted in various position with regard to the keyboard.
Plants vs. Zombies on the S10 is such a fun stress-buster.

I didn't really read the article, but i've heard these things come with wireless HDMI.
