Thanks for the reply Luke. My friend had an Acer laptop and I thought that the keyboard in that was great.
Will you sell replacement batteries or tell us where to order a replacement? I suppose that if I did not want to run the battery down while I am working I could use the USB + HDMI Cable Set for Standalone, with a keyboard and mouse, and my cell phone charger to power the EOMA68 computer card, right?
Would it be possible to adjust the wiring or add a switch to disconnect the battery? Could any electrician do it or would you consider making instructions? Or would it be safer to leave it stock?

Hi Luke,
With the laptop, can the user disconnect the battery and use only the power adapter to power the laptop?
should be okay
I like to do this when I don't need the battery, to preserve the battery when I use a laptop.
good idea - bear in mind though that with this design you'll need to be careful doing that as it's built-in, it's not a removable design. plug / socket inside the case.
Could you describe the keyboard that you plan to put in the laptop? How does it compare to, for example, Thinkpad and Macbook laptop keyboards?
it's a chicony keyboard for an asus 15.6in laptop - P/Ns are on here: http://rhombus-tech.net/community_ideas/laptop_15in/pcbs/pcb2/
it's pretty good. full-sized keys. there's also an update coming out in the next couple of days, albert kindly demo'd the AZERTY keyboard firmware he's been working on.
