Seems that there's a lot of conjecture about this thing. We don't know what the hardware is, don't know how the interface would work in real life, don't know how big the real thing will be, don't know if it will do 360° opening, if it will lock open at 180° for a tablet mode, etc. etc. etc.. It's way too premature to start making any real judgment calls on the reality of the product.

If it's just like the demo, I'll consider selling some organs for one. I've got doubts about the real thing though.

All I know is what I saw in the animated video, and I can imagine doing that unless the beastie is lying flat on a desk.

And I'll throw in a a kidney and half a liver.
