Missed Opportunities

Where's the 11.6" Haswell Windows 8 notebook with the detachable 2560x1600 screen which turns into an Android tablet with a Wacom digitiser and a stylus and WiDi for using it as a detached touchscreen and a Thunderbolt dock for desktop use?

Given what has been shown at Computex this year, it's possible that there's a device with those exact specs and I just missed it.

1 Given Bluestacks, you could almost have such a thing already.

2 Last time I tried it the Bluestacks experience wasn't exactly stellar.  Which is a shame, because it's something that should work, and would be incredibly useful.

3 Would that make coffee as well?

4 It not only makes coffee, it even drinks it for you!

5 I tried Bluestacks recently on a Trinity A8-5600K with a discrete Radeon  5670.  It worked decently.  I think the problems were more that it's a little twitchy than any slowness per se.  Since my new i5-3570K doesn't (yet) have a discrete card I haven't tried it there (with an AMD card you can download BS from the AMD website.)
