I don't see many people doing this. I would whip out my cellphone or (less likely) my tablet to pay for my purchase. A laptop is a bit much, don't you think?
Do you do your online shopping on a cellphone or tablet? I do mine on a full PC or when I'm travelling, my laptop. The idea isn't to pay for stuff at your local groceries with your laptop but when you are online shopping at amazon or newegg.
It is just so wrong on so many levels. We already have pop machines that have credit card readers. Why devote so much economic investment into something that dispenses such unhealthy product? I mean, how stupid are people, really? All that crap can and should be replaced by century old tried and true technology: a frickin drinking fountain.

Does it dispense 20oz bottles?If it dispenses like a soda fountain (into cups), I would still buy it if it saved me some money.
Why do you need to take your photo at a coke machine?
