    I would think some kind of Internet Appliance or so-called Thin Client would be made this way, but all I know of have a separate, interchangeable keyboard. For the better in my view - once the keys go bad on an integrated machine, you're in trouble.

    Yep, that's what I was talking about. I guess they're still being made

    ASUS will be releasing the rather nifty looking Eee Keyboard around May time.

    Check this Geeky Gadgets article for pics and specs.
