Looks like an iPad with a higher res and a pen.
With a glossy IPS sucking down batteries, it's gonna suck for reading.
But I guess it's better than nothing
Still waiting for that really high-res matte display that emulates paper, and not a laptop with a keyboard sawed off.
EDIT: Watched the video. They are actually concentrating on the "Platform" idea with services, content and workflow meant for students.
Still, the form factor is not the best. 6hr battery (mfg specs, reality will likely be less) just doesn't cut it for education, unless all the student chairs have electricity sockets...
