Comments on: Sony laptop cuts keyboard in half

Odd design is apparently meant for small spaces.

[bwahblah]

the l(x) series of sony laptops are meant to be placed in the home, it's a "Lifestyle" pc. It's not meant to be carried around like normal laptops, thus the floating glass design, which would be imagined to be fragile. Neither Crave nor Pocket-lint picked this up.

When I was in Japan I saw a similar model, the keyboard has a flap underneath that is unfolded when you want it to be...

I could see where the title of this entry on main page ("When single-handed typing is useful") could hint towards something else...

Pay attention - IT IS NOT A LAPTOP. These series is a desktop with a fold up keyboard. and there are dozens of versions.

It is very flash heavy so it is hard to to copy and paste the text into a translation system. Hopefully a company as large as CNET has access to translators

Saw a VAIO exactly like this at Office Depot this weekend, and I'm quite sure it's a PC, not a laptop.
