You really think that a solution like this really finds customers? If You want a gimmick only, You'd pay nothing above half of what this notebook would cost- aside of the fact that anything short of a real "sensable" keyboard is not operational- ever tried to type a message on an iPhone?-) extreme comparison, but even the generic poor PhD is touch-typing, no chance to do that on a nonphysical keyboard experience- I tried that once with one of those projection keboards- typing worked fine when You loos at the keys... the moment You try to touch-type- BAM.... Just my two cents---
