Dual-screen gScreen laptop gets pictured, hopefully launching this year

We were pretty skeptical of gScreen's plans to produce a line of dual-screen laptops rocking when we first heard about them in February, but here we are, looking at the first picture we've seen of the Spacebook laptop. We're told it has two 15.4-inch displays -- since the company knows you don't always need both screens, the second stows away behind the first and slides out when you need it, just like the Lenovo W700ds. Except, you know, with a full-size screen. Inside, you'll have a selection of Core 2 Duos, 4B of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 900M GT graphics, and a 7200rpm drive -- all of which explain why it's expected to cost just south of $3,000. gScreen's planning on having this on sale by the holidays, along with a dual-13-inch model -- let's hope the company can pleasantly surprise us yet again.

I am going to get so many girls with this

[2d546a2d Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:28PM]

If you don't, you can span porn across both screens to make you feel better.

[Frostblade10 Posted Aug 28th 2009 12:02AM]

Perfect for viewing really big women.

[Armchaircritic Posted Aug 28th 2009 3:42AM]

don't need computers for that...just fold the screens down and look around

[Frostblade10 Posted Aug 28th 2009 4:16AM]

America, fuck yeah!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2009 12:03AM]

Body Builder will love it.

[Zodiac Posted Aug 28th 2009 5:53AM]

Yeah, how much does it weigh? 20 lbs? Who wants to carry two laptops? :)

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2009 6:56AM]

Great .. (crack .... crunch.. ) Oh shucks, I think I just broke my back !!!! Ooouch

[GN1 Posted Aug 28th 2009 9:47AM]

i really dont think this laptop should come w/ a battery at all... otherwise it would be drain in record time :\

[aaronaaron Posted Aug 28th 2009 11:21AM]

Battery Life=Lacking

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:42PM]

"Core 2 Duos, 4B of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 900M GT graphics"

4B of RAM???.... that might be a problem...

[Kaz Pinkerton Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:57PM]

I'll be rockin my toggle switches with that four bytes.

[Cy Starkman Posted Aug 28th 2009 2:24AM]

LOL

registers start your swapping!

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:42PM]

That looks, amazing.

[SexMurderArt Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:45PM]

yea...amazingly hideous

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:46PM]

Think on site video editing

[Streetfights Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:20PM]

or kick-ass coding
or kick-ass designing
or kick ass music production/recording

looks pretty sweet to me

[Cy Starkman Posted Aug 28th 2009 2:27AM]

Looks totally awesome to me, less of the hideous. Though it has the potential to get hideous , the slide mechanism could really suck.

Now we need some thin film screens meshed with oragami and when u open ur laptop they fold out to make a four screen uber panel

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2009 4:56AM]

perfect for Logic Studio or ProTools. do want.

[Old fogie late bloomer Posted Aug 28th 2009 10:37PM]

Love it in theory; in practice, that is going to be one thick laptop. Also, for that price you could just get two good laptops (I know, I know, it's not the same, it was a joke... sort of).

But why do they have to be glossy screens!?

Really, what this company (or some company) should be investing in are standalone, battery-powered monitors that you can plug into your laptop.

4B of ram. Damnit I can only run DOS with this thing. How many times will I have to downgrade versions of windows! Can't I get some 3.11 action?

[Frostblade10 Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:56PM]

DOS 6.22 actually requires 512KBs of memory.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:57PM]

Damn, what could I possibly run then?

[Frostblade10 Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:40PM]

The BIOS. I hear it's a fun game.

[santela Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:47PM]

Damn, Paris and Pam the same time! WooHoo~

[pika2000 Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:50PM]

Wow, talk about annoying the person sitting on your sides in economy class. LOL.
BTW, 4B of RAM and Geforce 900M! Can it play Wolfenstein 3D?

[Jacob1 Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:13PM]

I don't think it could play pong. I think ENIAC had more memory lol

[morissen3k8 Posted Aug 28th 2009 1:23AM]

@ least you can watch your movie and she can watch hers. however getting the right sound for the right screen will be a matter by itself if the player can't funnel the sound to respective channels...

[GingerFox Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:51PM]

Dont't actually look half bad:P

[Smurf Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:51PM]

They're launching that laptop in this economy?

The price isn't ridiculous, but I can't imagine anyone investing money in this company. Maybe he's launching it for some sort of claim to a patent he'll sell to the big computer manufacturers.

And guys, he obviously meant 4 B(uckets) of ram.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 28th 2009 8:39AM]

You still wouldn't have bought it even if you couldn't use the economy as an excuse.

[MajorTom15 Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:52PM]

That'll be cool.. for like a week

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:54PM]

Is it just me, or does the left lower side looked to be not snapped in right....my eyes may be getting one over on me or something....

[MarnBeast Posted Aug 28th 2009 3:31AM]

It sits behind the one on the right. When only using 1 screen, you'd just be using the one on the right. Then, for two screens, the front one slides to the right and the back one slides to the left.

[GregH Posted Aug 28th 2009 4:42PM]

It would be nice if when you slide the monitors out, that they would actually move into place beside one another (or 'snap in place') as the original poster put it.

[oldmanhorton Posted Aug 27th 2009 10:55PM]

Nilay, Mr Senior Editor, edit your posts plz? kthx

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:03PM]

Seems a little...excesive. But if this is not a sign of the apocalypse I do not know what is.

[Region2 Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:12PM]

As unattractive and heavy as that thing looks, I'm actually craving it. In my business, the more montiros the better. And sometimes I only have a laptop and my viliv on me. This could be nice. Be nice to show Starbuck "writers" what real work looks like.

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:16PM]

I would hate to break the hinges on that laptop...

[Streetfights Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:22PM]

Wait, what is a 900m?

[ruby Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:28PM]

ohhhhhhhhhh god gimme three of em.

[ruby Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:35PM]

haha.. the more I look at it, the funnier it gets!

[Nickocosmic Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:31PM]

DO WANT

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:32PM]

i can already see all the people staring at me in starbucks when i pull out this baby.

[Poop Chef Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:32PM]

LOL!!!!

[portezbie Posted Aug 27th 2009 11:35PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 10th 2009 7:14PM]

Wow, looks sexy to me. Extra monitor is just what I need.
