Dual-Screen Laptops are Coming
The rational person inside you says: you don’t need this. The nerd inside you says: you need to spend your 3-month salary on one of these. Regardless of which one you’ll listen to (I’ve already made my choice; food is for the weak), we feel it’s our duty to inform you that there’s more and more proof dual-screen laptops are coming to the market soon.
First, it was the Alaska-based gScreen’s prototype, whose pictures only left us pining for more. Now, the folks at Engadget caught another one of these beauties at the CEATEC conference, a prototype created by Kohjinsha.
While gScreen’s idea of a dual-screen laptop was basically a standard-sized laptop with two screens, Kohjinsha has something much more netbook-like (that’s a lot of hyphens in one sentence, I know) in mind. The prototype in the picture has two 10.1 inch LCDs with either a 1024 x 600 or 1366 x 768 resolution; you can choose between using them both at the same time, or simply hide one screen and use the device as a standard laptop. Inside, there’s an AMD Athlon MV-40 processor, 4GB of DDR2 memory, and it’s all powered by Windows 7 Home Premium. See a video of the device in action over at Engadget.
