Leaving aside the futuristic and unstable looking stand, the unit would be just a box about the size of the current Eee PC (about 230 x 170 x 25 mm). The current Eee PC doesn't have a DVD drive and there is no need for one on the E-DT. The Eee PC is essentially a thick thin client computer. That is it has enough processing power and memory to boot and run applications. If you want to access lots of data you have to do that via an external device or the Internet. The clever part about this is that it makes the unit simpler and cheaper. The pictures in Hot Hardware of the Asus E-DT look plausible.
