Buying a new laptop- Apple?

Christos, it's supposed to be called an iSlate and it looks like a Giant iPhone.
It's supposed to be unveiled on the 26th. No optical drive. No Keyboard.
I imagine its going to be incredibly cool, and I'm going to have to sell my spleen to get one, but it's not a work machine like you need for school, by any means.
It's a mutitasking iPhone. A tablet multitasking iPod Touch, basically.
It'll be an awesome $2000 netbook. Not at all what you need for school.
Plus drop it once, see ya.
Add to that, it's all screen, so they won't offer a breakage warranty, and you'll have to pay $400 for a Square Trade warranty.
You'd definately look cool with it though, so there's that.
