Mac or PC can plug in a monitor. But can they power it too? Regardless this thing looks like its made for people to buy and show off. For 99.99% of people, it would be much easier and cheaper to just have a big old 24" (or larger monitor) sitting at their desk and plug in there.

The other bonus to the "spacebook" is that it isn't branded by FisherPrice...

This laptop is too much of a "Niche" item to sell terribly well. The creators mean well, but reality says it's only gonna sell to people that want to show off, or despratley need the second screen for tasks I cant even imagine. HP HDX18 laptop $1800, Digital video projector, $700, portable screen $ 200 small generator $ 200, Gas, $100... Horray, I've got a dual screen - portable blu-ray player that can shoot a 120" screen. and for the same price... Less the convienience of a small package to carry it in..

On a Mac, you can hot plug the external display at any time, it is very easy to add or remove while you work or travel. And weighs much less than SpaceBook also.
