Just like BetaMax and 8-Track...
That's proof positive that, you refuse to look at the real world, and instead, you have tunnel vision, and you can't see anything beyond your narrow scope of thought.
8-Track was popular for a bunch of years, just like the iPhones and iPads have been popular for a few years, and, just like the example you picked, they will have been popular for a few years, having been replaced by something superior, like the Windows 8 gadgets, namely WP8 cellphones and Surface tablets. But, like anything else in technology, even those will be popular for a few years, to be replaced by the next "big thing". But, you haven't been paying attention, apparently, to notice how that's the way of technology. Try to keep up.

Promise me you’ll check back with me in, say, three years on this?

... but it’s not a new thing, it’s old things shoehorned into someone else’s new thing for market diiferentiation.
It’s a netbook with a touchscreen, apparently, but that is yet to be seen in the wild. Of what utility is the redundancy in comparison to a netbook, ultrabook or Macbook Air? Particularly with the likely price premium.
Microsoft fans could just purchase a cheap Asus along with an Android tablet and come out ahead monetarily, without a garbled, bowdlerized half measure untried device.
