So the product is a laptop with no screen? Lame.

Reminds me of all the "Plug n Play" games. A novel PC compatible portable ideal. Easy to take a keyboard with you, hopefully it at least has WiFi built in. Bit of hassle having to tie up the motel TV though, especially since the hotspot for Internet is usually downstairs at the coffee bar. As cheap and small as Atom laptops are, I don't see a market for this.
Thanks for post, interesting read.

Awesome! I'm sure they didn't have a hard time programming the input because the original song had limited instruments/channels bless the Amiga

I read the other link. Not really a portable, probably after the Apple Mini market.
Apple Mini - I would love one of these sitting in the TV shelf hooked up to my HD.
Commodore PC Keyboard

Not a Laptop. Commodore all in one PC keyboard has minimal of 2 leashes.
Computer needs Power (is there a battery?) and VGA or DVI cables.

I'll stick with my SX-64, the very first production transportable color computer. Modded to accept video on that silly 5" CRT.
Here's a mini paper model for your enjoyment.
