Gotta love the straight up stealing of the current Mac OS wallpaper (Yosemite at night).

Looks unlikely to launch. It's far off from its goal.

This on the other hand will be available to buy soon: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/gpd- ... -laptop--2#/

No mobile internet connection (Intel based devices issue), worthless.

Judging by the success of that device, it seems that most people don't want or need it. I've been debating whether to get a Ubuntu-based version, but in the end it would just be nice to have, not something that I actually need.

It would be good upgrade of my ThinkPad 8 tablet. I just want Windows based 8" or smaller portable device with LTE connectivity and working GPS (which is major ThinkPad 8 issue). The keyboard is also handy, especially with the trackpoint :) The hardware specs might allow to run Visual Studio on it that would be fantastic.
