I like that they didn't incorporate the actual PC hardware into the monitor, very good decision on their part, however, it's just a laptop with a huge monitor that just happens to not fold up. So upgrades are probably not possible outside of the memory/HD and maybe the optical drive. But they do look very nice. I might actually consider one if the price is right and they're gaming-capable to replace my current laptop.

Found the pricing.. At $1200 for the middle of the road, I don't think it's something I'd be interested in. Not at that price point. If it was sub $1k I'd be more likely to bite.

The laptops look nice.

They start at $900. They're targeted at people who want sexy Apple-like looks without the price (they're still half as cheap as comparable Apples).

ditto on the styling. it's good to have competition and we all know a large percentage of people buy Apple products for the image/style...not because they are some technological marvel.

I'm not liking the looks of all that wasted plastic edging around the laptops keyboards. Doesn't look anything like the Apple laptops to me. As for the looks of the desktop version, there are also other brands of 'all in one' type PCs that are cheaper than $900 now at Best Buy. One can also use a white Apple keyboard ($50) with any current PC too (have one) but its only problem with PCs is that it won't work in the boot-up screen if needed.
