GeCube Genie Mini PC Comes With a Detached Screen

Yet another Eee PC clone, this time it’s the GeCube Genie that features a 7″ screen, 2GB storage size and a Linux based system. The interesting twist in this one is the detached display that can be separated from its water proof keyboard to an independent unit with a trackpad on the back side. Too bad it doesn’t support a touchscreen function to make our life easier, still it can be used as a digital image frame or a tablet device without the touch. If you want to grab one of these, it should be around $450.
