I have to hand it Dell for this one. That design is killer, even if it’s running Windows 7 on an Atom. Sure, it looks incredibly breakable, and it’ll never be as sleek as a dedicated tablet, but damn, that’s a great way to do a convertible.

The demo was at the Intel Developer Forum, and this design uses a 10″ screen. One trouble: lots and lots of bezel. Seems like they might want to slim that down a bit. But seriously, Dell, that’s nice. Now give me my choice of OS when I order it!
