    I sold computers at the time this thing came out. We had one of these sealed away in an acrylic cube. When closing the store one day, I discovered that someone had CUT THE CUBE IN HALF and stolen the computer (but left the dock and charging cord.) Absolutely insane that nobody noticed them do that.

    1. Cool idea.
    2. Is this really an article about a reddit thread where some dude says he could do it but maybe later?

      I too laughed at “enthusiast mulls.”

      That being said, I too, am an enthusiast who’d love to see these handheld-like PCs come back.

        This remains one of my favorite pieces of 21st century industrial design, not just the basic slider with keyboard form factor, but the little things that came together to make it such a good implementation.
