Fulcrum Hinge, detachable tablet, reversible configuration...
Hands down, best design I've seen in a long while!

From an engineering point of view it's ingenious to have the NVidia GPU reside in the keyboard.
This way the heat distribution is the best you can get.
Let's hope Linux can run on it without big restrictions

I think their biggest challenge will be consumer mind-set. Windows consumers are not accustomed to paying $1500 for a Core i5 system, and getting gouged $200 for $35 worth of ram. Apple cultomers [sic], on the other hand, are well practiced, and nearly demand the gouging. Heck, they'll sleep overnight on the sidewalk to pay for it. If Apple ever does join this band wagon, they will be much more profitable at it.
