[citation][nom]house70[/nom]What is the purpose of a built-in kinect device on a laptop, tablet or netbook? What exactly do they hope to achieve? Recognize when the user sat in front of it, so it can resume from stand-by? Nobody can touch the trackpad anymore?I mean these questions; I do not see any advantage of having one built-in. I can see a peripheral-based kinect for, say, desktops, in a gaming-oriented environment. Even if some business-related uses could come up, it could still be a peripheral, not a built-in.[/citation]
It is about what level of comfort and control you want and you can pay for. If someone has the money, they will most likely buy a mobile device with kinect, just for the kicks if nothing else.
