* Sounds clunky, and overspecialized. * Awkwardly splits the product (display/no display). * Competes with the low-end Macbook, while being a lower-margin product. * Can't imagine a design for this that isn't ugly. Very Un-Apple. Jobs isn't going to follow up the iPhone 3G with this, aptly described, 'brick'.
Accurate or not, that's a pretty good idea. Being able to detach the screen and plug the computer into a bigger monitor would suit perfectly the way I use my laptop at the moment. Plus, with the screen removed the "brick" is presumably a computer in a keyboard form factor, just like in the good old days.
I don't get it. I plug a bigger monitor to my laptop when I'm at my desk. Why the need to detach the laptop screen?

The main limiting thing there for me that's annoying is that Mac OS seems to require me to use my laptop's screen as the main one putting the menubar there instead of on my larger external monitor.
Now drag the menu bar to whichever screen you like. And remember, Google is your friend.

You know abhout this "drag and drop" thing? Open up the Displays preference pane. You see the two (or more) screens and you can drag them around to decicde how to arrange your virtual desktop. Now drag the menu bar to whichever screen you like. And remember, Google is your friend.

The $800 might be wishful thinking. Unless they're planning an all out assault.
LOL. Nothing said at BJ's is ever real. Would be more credible if he's having breakfast at Caffe Macs. No one shows off gadgets during lunch.

Ah, didn't realize that you could drag the menubar separately.
