"Frameless screen" with a frame around it?

There is no "larger view" of the on side picture.

I have to say I like the looks of this. I'd love a built in CD/DVD drive, but I understand why it's not there.

I currently have a X60T with touch screen, and (although I hate to say it) I don't think I'd miss not inking anymore.

Hmmm, perhaps it's time to sell my Motion M1400 and the X60T!

@Travis:
My guess is that the "frameless screen" is a misnomer that actually refers to a completely flat, smooth, continuous glass LED display surface that extends over the side bezels. This would be unlike most laptops today with (sometimes bulky) plastic bezels that frame the glass LCD display; a lip or rut between the LCD glass and the bezel is usually detectable by your finger/palm.

I'd say this "frameless" glass screen would be a more appropriate feature for the X62 Tablet (assuming they're working on an X62T) since "inkers" would better enjoy the completely smooth surface with their hands constantly sliding back and forth over it. My hand notices the edges of my X61 Tablet display.
