What differences will there be between this and the Gateway prototype model? A few. Notable differences include: extra ports on the front, a slot loading DVD/CD drive instead of tray loading, different port arrangement on the back, and the materials it is made out of (metal instead of plastic). It will also be a raised a little more so that youcan stow the keybaord under it ala A1000 style. These are "minor styling changes". Not affecting the look of the system, only ading things where none were before.
In regards to a matching monitor: Yes, there will be, and it will be 17", not 15" as the original MCC had. We are also considering a matching LCD, and a vertical stand (similar to the SONY PS2) for the unit so that it may be stood on its side.
Photos will be available shortly of the Pilot systems.
