Apple IIgs Laptop!

I do not know how this escaped me last week, but it
did!
I saw this on TUAW and it blew my mind! The IIgs has a special place in my computer usage history, it being the machine I learned to code on in high school. Some of the specs for this laptop are:
Large 15″ color screen. Much bigger than the ones on my other 8-bit computer projects (thus far)
Uses an original Apple IIgs motherboard with RAM expansion.
Custom acrylic keyboard. It uses the original keyboard PCB, but the buttons were custom made for a cool modern look.
CompactFlash adapter inside unit functions as an original equipment hard drive.
Glowing backlit “][” logo. Blue for on, with a bit of yellow during disk access.
Built-in stereo speakers.
Side port access for floppy drive, joystick and mouse.
Can play all your classic games
Now if they can figure out how to add in WiFi, a browser and email, we’re all set to go! Move over MacBook Air!
