EEE Keyboard – Computer in a keyboard

Saw a post on the Asus Eee Keyboard on taranfx, Asus Eee Keyboard is Actually a PC: Featuring Touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Wireless HDMI, Atom.

Initially I’d say “I want this”, as I do all cool technologies.  Realistically it seems like more of a distraction than a useful “keyboard”.  It boils down to a computer in a keyboard, so your keyboard becomes all you need along with a monitor.

I’d rather have a laptop and just connect it to a monitor.  It feels like this product is paying entirely for the (very cool) keyboard screen.  I doubt the screen will result in much increased productivity — since you have to shift focus down to just use it.

Maybe instead of touch screen applications, a little touch pad instead?

It definitely demos very well:
