I mean really?
I have however began to assemble a list of ways in which to improve their already amazing marketing technique. Feel free to contribute your own!
{1} Bring in that meth-head from the Sham-wow commercials to lure in the whole "tweaker" demographic.
{2} Show someone wearing that thing getting punched in the face randomly at the end of the clip (like that koala bear commercial on the superbowl).

Dude. That's actually pretty awesome. I'm sure there are lots of jobs where being that mobile is valuable.
Their website design leaves a lot to be desired, though...

Ok, I'm with Tov on this one. This is a very very bad idea from a technical stand point. While laptops are meant to be "mobile" walking around with your laptop on no matter what it is connected to unless of course there is some serious shock absorption you are just asking for you hard drive to die and then come to me and go, "I don't understand, it just died! Fix it!"
Laptops are actually meant to be stationary and when you want to move it then turned off or put to sleep or hibernation and then moved.
Now before someone says something about free-fall sensors, most laptops don't have free-fall sensors and if they do have one most don't active unless it is at least a 5 foot drop. Hmmm so you would actually have to drop the laptop from above most peoples head height for it to work. That's a long drop and alot of damage to the chassis.
Now with SSD becoming more cost effective and larger this in a couple of years won't be an issue.
