I would like to see a new feature into this computer:

We unplug the screen to have a regular iPad, and then it’s possible to re-put the screen onto the computer to have a normal macbook…

Another cool feature: (airscreen)
when the computer is into IPAD mode, (the screen is disconnected from the base macbook) the computer base can compute the stuff and stream screen content wirelessly onto the iPad . (if the base is shared through wifi)… if no base found then : it’s a normal iPad…

(of course you control the base computer streaming through the touchscreen of the Ipad mode…)

It rocks no ???

(if Apple will read that : contact me if you like this idea, I’m looking for a some Graphic Designs Jobs, or creative stuff to do…) (OK, we never know… )

Interesting stuff! A touch screen on a computer may not be the better way to improve output and usability (try to raise your hand all day long…), but it could be the step to another kind of machines. Cool!

Checking out the trackpad I could not help but notice that the picture is of a really old pre-unibody MBP, so the idea has been around for some time now.
I won’t hold my breath waiting.
