As for the 400 euros price OK, that's just whishful thinking]]>Feb 15th 2009 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Besides, why screens?

Its all about hype, style and beauty of second screen instead of a keyboard.

Surely it would only add the thickness of a normal LCD plus maybe a bit for the hinges - the LCD on my laptop is about 7mm thick, not an inch]]>Feb 15th 2009 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/
If it's going to be $400 (doubt it) I'm getting it, cheap alternative to a cintiq and well, sexy :)]]>Feb 15th 2009 7:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/
that thing is so thick it's unreal, a good idea yes but needs a lot of development to get it slimmed down to something sane]]>Feb 15th 2009 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/
Estari, two years ago, already produced a double-LCD 'laptop':

http://notebookitalia.it/estari-2-vu-dc15-il-notebook-dual-screen.html

Only it used to cost $4000+. So, while prices have certainly gone down over two full years, a $400 price for this new beast looks unlikely.

And by the way, I wouldn't buy it anyway. It would be fantastic for reading books - let alone graphic novels! - but the thought of typing even a post like this one on a touch-screen keyboard gives me pause. Maybe as a portable music workstation; or perhaps for visual artists, but the touch-screen would need to be of mighty good quality.]]>Feb 15th 2009 7:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/Feb 15th 2009 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/- Text entry via the swype (is that the name, don't remember??) method

I also don't get how they plan to build it, one PC with two displays or two PC's each with one display, because only the latter seems to be possible. They have on both pieces USB, ... ports, but only a small hinge which could contain the needed cables (display, touchscreen, usb, network, ...)
It also won't get sold because it's too thick, too heavy, I can't imagine that this hinge design is solid, it will be too expensive, and the gap between the two displays is too large to be useable. You can't even move a windows from one display to the other display with the touch screen. This whole concept does only make little sense. It's just two slate tablets, connected via a hinge, WOW, how useless.]]>Feb 15th 2009 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/15/v12-designed-dual-screen-laptop-going-into-production/
