Interesting... I saw this many times in futuristic movies (the editing room from "Children of Man" comes to mind) and always thought it was a gimmick which would never find it's way to mass market. Augmented reality in office applications? What would you like to augment: you coworker's face or a wall? Or rather a desk, since it's a laptop?

The transparent display is pretty gimmicky, but "The keyboard is entirely touch-sensitive, as is the touchpad" is what makes this entirely useless.

It's impractical, but it's a cool concept.
I will skip the keyboard, as we all know that it's going to feel awful

My question is, what happens when you scratch the back of the monitor? Is it going to be visible from the front?
