@pwned cool, you mean like as a touchscreen?
@zombie it's super portable and saves you money if you're just getting a pc for linux so you dont have to spend like $300 bucks on the cheapest laptop at best buy |

and besides linux users are mostly graphic design people or programmers or casual web browsers who don't need a monster computer to play all the latest ram hogging games |

wouldnt you have to hook it up to a monitor though
it wouldnt be all that portable if you had to carry a monitor around |

ah interesting
i could see how that would be really useful
like if you were at an airport or something you could just use a random computer and have everything you need on it without carrying around or worrying about a laptop |
