    Pandora Netbook?

    Yes, I am familiar with that folding design. It is another in which the display is outside, rather that betweeen the folding keyboards, so that the key travel space is wasted. Also that design is, in my opinion, very awkward and unwieldy because all the electronics is in the tilted display...
