Interesting - but the angle looks wrong - from the picture on the WWW 
site it looks like the keyboard is horizontal, whereas it would be 
much better ergonomically if there was a 20 degree slope. I guess 
it's OK if you use it on a desk and plug in a USB keyboard and mouse, 
since at least then the screen is at the right height ?

I'd probably buy this if it sloped (better yet, if the slope was adjustable).
