Great, now drop the keyboard and it will be much more portable.

Unfortunately you'd need a compact input device with good haptic feedback. Obviously it has a keyboard [1], but when the screen fits so nicely over it dropping the screen doesn't seem like such a huge bonus.

As it stands I'd probably prefer a screen for the 2% of my computing time where I actually want my world to be "public".

Still, very cool to see things moving this way!

[1]: Physical buttons are a million times better than a touch screen because you don't have to look at them to know what you are doing.

Yes. Why drop the screen at all? No reason you couldn't have glasses like this on a regular laptop, adding a second screen "behind" your main display. Or just close it to about 45 degrees.

I love the idea of a private display, or a floating multiscreen layout, but I dont want to sacrifice the regular screen for that.

Ok but then you basically have a phone with some glasses and a tracker.

Wait, it actually already is a smartphone, at least in specs anyway. Who'd go for a laptop without at least half a TB of storage these days? And 8GB of RAM, that's like a decent laptop from almost a decade ago.
