Dream PC Description
A module:The tablet pc, with 10.1" multi-touch finger gesture display, using the new (not out yet) dual core atom, and a hybrid graphics engine, the tablet itself has one usb 2.0 port, headphones jack, mic jack, a webcam and an integrated mic. it also has a 1.8" ssd drive and of course a battery (large and thin).
The fun begins when you slide the "A module" tablet, into the "B module".
The "B module":
Acts like a kind of dock, where you slide inside it your "A module" tablet, and you can use the optic drive, extra hdd or ssd, the tv-out, express card slot, the extra usb ports, and the backlit keyboard of course.
The "B module" also has an extra battery, same size as the battery in the tablet (you can use the battery on tablet and b module on the same time for extra battery time.)
When used together A and B modules act like a laptop, but with extra battery time and multi-touch screen.
But when separated from module B, The tablet becomes even more mobile.

That's a pretty neat idea. I don't think I'd like having to keep track of two separate pieces though :p.
it`s not wireless, why it can`t use high bandwith apps?
anyway the main hard-disk is on the A-module.
Rational and useful - neat idea. You could consider the B module as a base station with a trusted link to the A module for portability and flexibility. That would also allow you to access the B module resources like drive and extra USB ports ++ without having to connect. Not ideal for high-bandwidth applications, but...
Nice idea. Though I wonder if such a screen (A module), with additional dock (on-keyboard) and a loose (wireless?) keyboard/mouse would be just as functional or perhaps more functional.
The basic concept already exists, for 199 euros (!), though with much lower specs (http://www.laptoppen.nl/product-361-UMPC-BASIS-Zwart.html). Granted, this is only a umpc with keyboard (not all the extra features mentioned here).
Listen kind, i bored to bother with you...go drink your coffee and dont talk about something "legal" again cauze your post as much legal as mine....when i have 140 legal votes you had only 5 and suddenly became 3000 in a flash....so go drink your coffee and dont talk to much...
guys thanks for the notes, I think the bottom part would be heavier, because it has hdd, optic drive, ethernet card, tv out ports , and maybe an extra hdd.
Some of HP's tablet PC's already do this. We have one at work (about a year old) that detatches from the keyborad unit. It's load-out of what stays in the keyboard is a bit different, though.
Neat. If you got rid of the frame/slot around the screen, the laptop's "dock" could potentially work with screens of multiple sizes.
Votes might be fake, but this is still a pretty decent idea.
So, sorry =) Dont worry - be happy!
