The flat design would seem to make this even less ergonomic than a laptop (an already low bar). Is this meant to be placed on a desk? The user would basically have to hang their head down to look at the display, which is just in front of their fingers.

The ergonomics is a deal breaker.
I trust these people to make a great device that works well, gets support, is fully open source, and is super fun to play with.

That keyboard is just an awful use of space. I would love to buy something in this form factor with a decent keyboard.
Then an ex lost it reading Fifty Shades in an airport, and you can't buy them any more.
I'm saving up for a Remarkable.
