Why? I don't find the design at all compelling. It's thick, and a bit kludgy looking. The hinge looks interesting but it leaves a huge gap when the laptop is closed and there seems to be a few downsides with it such as adding additional weight for little true beneficial hinge functionality. Complexity adds mechanical breakage points that may come back later to bite the user when the warranty expires. It looks cool, but is it necessary for added cost/benefit of the function of the device?

As a tablet, is the storage on the keyboard or on the screen section . . . or do they split duties? How? If so, where? I'm curious what exactly is lost when undocked.
