I can't imagine many people would find this a pleasant device to do any actual work on. Maybe writers on the go, as the author says, though with a dubious keyboard layout even that is questionable.

I haaaate typing on a laptop, layout not withstanding.

If you have to carry a separate keyboard, it defeats the purpose of an 8" laptop...

Docks are pretty great now.

I have a dock at home and at work. Single cable to plug in and get proper peripherals, 2 + 1 monitors, and power.

It's nice to be able to undock and go sit in a Cafe to read emails or do whatever you don't need full regalia for.

I can see this working on a smaller form factor.

Well, I carry a keyboard with my 17" laptop. Carrying a keyboard with a 8" laptop is that much easier.
