Introducing the EXOdesk

Not even one positive comment? No one is excited that they are making a highly affordable surface for 10 times+ less? We are a startup/hacker community after all, I don't think it is too much to ask!

This could be interesting as a secondary display. There are lots of ingesting things to leave running (dashboards), and a big tablet for doing some kinds of input.

Plus, games. Both as an immersive input device in regular games, and a great party tabletop games platform.

Higher resolution than 1080p would be nice for such a large panel. Figuring out a way to give haptic feedback (screen vibration under input area) would be nice too.

A potential problem is the resolution. If the screen is 16:9, a 40" diagonal means that that the screen is 19.6" high. At 1080, it's 55 dpi.

Isn't that low for a computer screen?

I think EXOdesk and Microsoft's Surface will probably have their lunch eaten by the more successful tablet manufacturers. They already have huge app ecosystems and it isn't an insurmountable technical challenge to increase a tablet's size by a factor of 4.

That being said, I hope they do succeed. The more competition the better.

Solution looking for problem?

Did i just read the word ergonomic in the same sentence as virtual keyboard?

Looks (pun half intended) like a way to get kinks in my neck...

If I can convert it to a drafting table I'm sold.

Genuine question: what are the use cases?

I'm still trying to sell my ExoPC tablet.

Sleek? Where are the round corners? Did Jobs teach you nothing?
