what we thinkin? if its as small, light and compact as an ipad with full desk/laptop functionality, while still lasting as long on a charge and loading up as quick (instantly) i could be tempted to trade in the ipad for one.
however, i bet its not. hopefully apple will follow up with an osx ipad

As you can see from the lack of replies, nobody is interested 
Completely depends on price.
I have a lot of use for a lightweight tablet with a proper OS on it.

at the comments on that page. They're saying that because it's made of magnesium it'll be flammable - someone didn't pay attention to the alloys part of their chemistry lessons.

so to sum up, unless you take a lynx flamethrower to it in a school it will be fine

I'm not too sure about that happening, if you look at the most recent version of osx it's very ios like, it's almost like they want to combine the two
