laptop/tablet in one?
I've never been a fan of the whole tablet idea but i guess there are plenty who are. In looking at that supposed new macbook on Macrumors one could almost imagine a screen that is made to detach and serve as a tablet. not sure of the feasibility of that..dont know if you can have a video connector system that could stand up to repeated detaching. would that be stupid?

Like who?
Seriously though, the way the tablet idea would work, in the real world; is having a spring-loaded pop out rest on its rear. You know those touch stainless steel trash bins you see in kitchens? Well that dip you touch on top to open the lid? Yeah, the one that looks sort of like the iPhone's home button. Think of one of those on the back of this Apple tablet, and pressing it in pops out a rest about 1.5" tall, that stretches across the whole device, so you can pop it out and place the tablet on the desk or table (at about 20º) and type away while looking at the screen at the same time. And when doing some couch surfing you simply pop this rest back in, where it lies flush, seamless and almost invisible on the back surface of Mac touch.
Without that rear rest, this product would be very impractical in real world use - but with it - or something like it, it would be practical, cool and versatile.
And for protection when carrying it around, 3rd party companies like Griffin would produce hard shell sleeves, either hard on both sides or just the screen side. Making Mac touch a real world useful beauty. A work of art from the heart
