Yet another ultra-portable styled notebook is hitting the market, this time its the GeCube Genie PC and it comes complete with a trick of its own. In a twist on the tablet PC with a rotating display, the Genie PC’s display will actually separate from the notebook. The Genie PC features a 7-inch display, a pretty low 2GB of flash-based storage, runs a Linux-based OS and retails for $450.

Now back to that detachable display, it kind of sounds better or at least more useful than it may prove to be with actual use. See the display is not touch-based. It does have a trackpad on the side, so you could still sit back and browse around the web, that is until you needed to type something.

Of course in all fairness, the detachable display may have still have a good point. For example if you were sitting at a table or desk setup, having a removable display would possibly allow you to set it up in an slightly more ergonomic manner, well maybe ergonomic is s bit of a stretch but at least you could have the display directly in front of your eyes perhaps saving your neck a little.
