Asus obviously have some clever bods working for them

Am I missing something, as I don't see the point of a huge keyboard and tiny screen?

Basically the computer is the keyboard. You do use the small screen, but you can also plug it into a big HD screen too.
Now you need to plug in a computer and a keyboard, with this it's just the keyboard.
The small screen would be like a touchscreen on a tablet, so you can use it for navigation I guess.

ahh - that makes more sense now.
So could all learners have their own keyboard/computer that they carry around, and then a college provide loads of screens that they then plug into?
@davefoord: that sounds like it could be a good idea. Nice as the micro-laptops are, the screens can be a bit on the small side for some. Portable computer with access to a large screen (or even a portable projector).
I have always been a fan of the alphasmarts and I like this idea!
