It looks pretty cool.  It also looks like a scissor-switch 'board.

Quite nice .. it has almost full travel keys, 40g activation force, it's small, it's light.

But it's not wireless, it doesn't have any special system support it while used on your lap, being so light I don't know what the build quality is. If it has a magnesium / metal case it would be nice, but I bet it's just plastic and it breaks easily. :)

Assuming that you're making those comments based on usage, how do the keys feel?  Are they standard rubber dome fare?

Wrong assumption. :) I just read the detailed specs, and wondered about some stuff ...

If someone HAS used it, please comment on the build quality, the hinge etc.

Considering the complaints about the keys on the old one I doubt it could be much worse.
