True ... here in East Winslow I already own clos to a dozen mice, have 4 "extra" monitors, and at least seven keyboardS .. .AS WELL AS EXTRA SETS OF SPEAKERS. I suspect this machine is aimed at peopel who already have a computer and hence could use what they have.
They've reinvented the Brick! I remember that -- just unplug the peripherals and carry cpu/disk with you, then plug in peripherals. Cool -- especially given that people really like BIG screens now, a brick approach might work well. And with the approaching digital TVs offering computer interfaces . . . could be good timing.
How does the manufacturer expects us to attach external storage devices to this Webtop. It only got 2 USB ports. One for the mouse, the other for the keyboard. Guess you need an USB hub as well. It would much easier with 3 USB ports.
Still for non-gaming and non-video editing users it should be adequate.
I am using the fit-pc (see here (http://www.fit-pc.com)), which has the advantage of being fully PC-compatible under the 120mm x 140mm x 40mm covers :) while consuming just 5W…

A similar machine would be the Aleutia E2 Webtop.
