It looks like a solid shell for RPi, it's just a shame that the price is a bit on the high side though.

For an alternative hackable laptop like shell for RPi, consider the CrowPi2 [1]. It does not support touchscreen but the screen estate is much bigger (11.6") and can be configured with many sensors for testing and developing IoT based projects. As an added bonus the price is quite affordable for students and hobbyists. The review of CrowPi2 can be found here [2].
