RE: laptops and performance
Yes, this was the surface I was thinking of, couldn't recall the name,
developer. Its truly amazing. Imagine a wall made like. I'd be glad to
beta test it :-)

My good friend Lee is @ NYU working direct with Ken Perlin (Perlin Noise..
Genius) on a multi-touch, multi display panel that makes Surface look like
a monochrome CRT. Not only senses multiple touches, senses proximity to
the
surface within 6 inches, and is projector based, so can illuminate above
and
below a clear panel, so there's lights projected down on your hands or
other
implements..

It's acrylic based, so you should be able to make oddly shaped acrylic
objects, and model touch on them... imagine a digital guitar that's just a
big strat shaped piece of clear plastic, with no strings, that you can
play?!
We live in an amazing world.
