Yes, it looks good, feels good, very good quality, and comes with
software that makes it a functional slate. The keyboard seems still
"inside", but is no longer accessible. Pricing was not available, but
they do have a distributer for the US and Germany at least.

Only thing I did not like is the mix of materials: the bezel for the
screen is brushed metal which does not look pretty with the white
case of the MacBook. Maybe it looks better with a black MacBook.

The touch screen uses Wacom technology, so it is fast, high res,
battery-less and touch sensitive. Good move!
