The only thing that disappointed me with the 7" laptop was that it couldn't be used like a tablet.
Well, bless their heart, it's been done, and doesn't look to be all that much bigger.
The 7" is 7.25 x 5.5 x .75
This new 8" (look atthe tiny bezel!) is 7.79 x 5.4 x 0.78 inches and was just released 9/23. Keyboard layout looks a touch easier to use too.
If it works as well as the 7", I may just sell the 7.
But that keyboard is still... urgh. Do I need to look for 9 inch models, just to get a decent keyboard?
