From an article from gaming nexus, "The unit sports a unique fret board, which is a full 22 frets, that is string-less and is actually touch-based. In other words, when you strum it, if you slide your finger down the fret itself, the sound will change." My question is, is each fret essentially turned into a button capable of sending one midi sound, or does the sound actually change within each fret to the point where you can create twangy slide guitar action?
Every string, every fret, every note plays, just like a real guitar. It plays chords or you can solo with it. It also has a "You Rock" Mode where when playing its internal sequences it is set so you play all the right notes. Seems very smart. There is a control panel for the guitar part floating around the internet somewhere, I saw the actual guitar at a Play n Trade. It was plugged into a Mac using Garage Band and it sounded and played great. Playing a Les Paul sound one second and a Martin D10 the next, they were sounds coming out Note for Note.
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"

That was always my issue with actual MIDI guitars, so lets hope it is as guitar like as it possibly can be.
