seems like the tablet side is just a novelty. i mean, from the looks of it, you won't even have access to files from the other "half." would have preferred if they went with one hd, one OS.
yep. To do it right, you need to have all the "guts" in the tablet part, and have the attachment only working as a keyboard, touchpad, port array, and it'd be cool if it had an extra battery and maybe even optical drive as well.
@crawdad689 I'd have thought doing that would be cheaper too and save in the excessive bulk of having two parallel systems.
Yeah I'm not sure I get the benefits of this either. I think they should just stick as much as they can in the lid and make the laptop base the inputs along with an extended battery.

@munir Well they probably included some sort of syncing software that keeps both the SSD & HD updated or at least some folders.
@munir Exactly my thoughts but i still find it interesting :)
