(Oh come on, you saw that pun coming.)

The new "employee", rather unfortunately named the Accelerated Life Test Apparatus, is basically a long Lego-brick arm gripping a stylus, which moves back and forth, left and right. The aim of these tests is to see how well the LCD screen will respond to a non-robot trying to take notes on the tablet.

Check out the Kno's informative above of the Lego bot doing its thing. Although the idea of a tablet that has had some interaction with Lego may be a selling point enough, sadly you will only be able to get your hands on the $599-$899 Textbook if you are a student or teacher, invite only.
