All in one keyboard - Arcade Cabinet worthy?

Saw this on the web today.  Has an onboard Atom computer.

So what do you guys think?  Something that can be used for a custom cabinet mod?  Perhaps the touchscreen can be put onto the control panel?  Hmm.

I dont know what to think about this.  I like the concept, very unique, but...  Something about it just doesn't seem right.

Well, you could use it in a cab mod I guess, but the atom isn't powerful enough for some things, and it's be a trick to seperate the screen from the keyboard, which I'm guessing for most cabs you'd want to do.

Still, that'd be a great thing to have if I had a home media center PC in the living room. You could remote control it via that keyboard. However, it'd be cheaper to just get a radio keyboard.

Just not sure.
