Sure it would be expensive but I doubt it would make the computer more than $2000 since the technology is rather old.

If done that way, the computer would be able to use the extra thickness of the absent keyboard keys as space for a battery and it would also be as thin as a macbook air possibly.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus-tactus/]]>Mar 3rd 2008 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/It's ok on a phone but on a full laptop/PC, it would be terrible.]]>Mar 3rd 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/Mar 3rd 2008 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/
Yes it is a really cool idea, however that would probably up the price of my $2,000 laptop to $3,500. And in a 2-3 years when I get a replacement laptop... I am also out my expensive keyboard!]]>Mar 3rd 2008 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/Mar 3rd 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/Mar 3rd 2008 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/Mar 3rd 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/Mar 3rd 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://xkcd.com/207/ }]]>Mar 3rd 2008 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/
Oh my god, I so want this on a MacBook Pro! I'm a photographer and videographer, this would make Photoshop/Illustrator/Final Cut Pro/DVD Studio Pro sooooooo much easier!

Too bad is still a half a decade out...

WTF?

That just wouldn't make a while lot of sense IMHO...

Because a USB port provides 500mA current (at 5V = 2.5W power), at most.
The Optimus Maximus (seriously, what a marketing name) requires more power than a standard keyboard, not more than, say, an LCD screen.

So why would I want this junk? Isn't Optimus Maximus for stupid people who can't remember where the keys are, and have to look? For me, the more distracting it is, the more annoying it is (especially when it comes to something like typing).]]>Mar 3rd 2008 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.daskeyboard.com]]>Mar 3rd 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/03/optimus-maximus-keyboard-for-laptops-yes-please/
