Sad part of this is
I was thinking of something similar to this ever since I saw the Atrix. If they can get this into a compact laptop that is as light as the Macbook Air, I would buy it instantly.

Why would this not come to The US / North america? Does Asus hate money or something ?!

THESE ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD!! 🤤 and promising! why not bring it to america? 😢

Prolly cuz it has to go thru the carriers, who'll undoubtedly try to figure out how to sell this with a tethering fee in it somehow.

I know its going to be expensive, but the way AT&T charges for data with stuff like this, it may in the mid to long term pay to buy this outside of the carrier and off the net. Seeing the big difference in cost is going to be for the phone, the netbook thingie will probably more or less cost the same either way.
Yes, this looks interesting, but, not sure the actual phone part is going to be on par with new offerings from Samsung , HTC and others.
