There was a flirtation of that design years ago by Lenovo.

Here's the CNET link about it.

It's been done before and given it's lukewarm sales and more, you probably won't see this again. The next things will likely be the Windows 8 tablet with it's keyboard unit. Although the big issue for most will be APPS.

Both could run Windows 8 but what is the draw here? I mean you won't be using Office or many current apps for a while.

Not quite the one I was thinking of

This had grey/silver rails on the side that were connected to the tablet and allowed the screen to slide away and up, locking into place to be used as a screen for a keyboard.
Haven't seen that one.

But can't see the attraction given the issues with APPs and use. As the Slate rolls out you can bet you'll see more models as they hope to get you to buy one.
Sorry but your description sounds like a fragile thing.

I thought the same thing about it being fragile,

and it may not work for us, but I was intrigued. And then when I couldn't find it, I was even more determined to figure out what it was called!
Could it be this Fujitsu?
