For some reason I have the urge to grab it by the dock and swing it at something.
This looks like a nice piece of tech, if they get the price right. I would buy this if it were in the $200-$300 range, unfortunately it will probably come out priced around $400-$500 where I could get a nice Eee/Pocket-PC/Whatever.
IMO this will wind up going down as another piece of tech that should have come out a year (or two) ago for the price-point, but someone might think the touch screen is worth the extra $$.
This is pretty exciting, IMO. It feels like it's been Intel and AMD in the consumer market for processors forever, and with AMD lagging I'm more than happy to welcome another desktop CPU provider. If this is true, and nVidia does enter the consumer CPU market I could definitely see some pretty cool innovations as the result, and would be more than happy to be an early adopter.
That, and from the read link, I'm getting a bit tired of hearing about all of these patent battles. It's really becoming apparent that they're killing off innovation and causing detriment to the consumer. Hopefully the ends justify the means...
Also, as a side note, I'd be much more happy (and feel less dirty) sticking an nVidia CPU in my computer than an Intel graphics solution, but that's just me.
