This is a great idea - though having it under the cover means it's difficult to toggle and therefore people will keep cameras and mic's on all the time.

I certainly hope they follow up with a model with higher specs.

I'm also not a fan of 2:1 displays which are for consumer scrollers (Instagram etc) and not general use enabled by having a real OS.
