I haven't been following the project closely, but attended a
presentation about it 6-12 months ago that discussed some of the goals
and challenges of the project.  Some of the requirements (as listed at
that time) that caught my attention were no moving parts, and possibly a
sealed case, especially no fans to suck in dirt and dust.  From what
I've heard they bear very little resemblance to what most of us think of
when we hear "laptop."
