Looks nice. Good touch having just one screen t'ouchable'

Like the whole look of it, and reckon could have a good stab at typing on such a small space.

Most of my browsing involves very little typing indeed. Though guess wouldn't suit those of you who do type a lot...]]>Jan 8th 2010 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/
concern: what is the approx battery life on such unit powering 2 screens? battery life, unit weight, or price would take a hit.

suggestion: OLED-looking clock should have an 'accelerometer' or should at least have function to display the clock the right direction when opened up.

p.s. MSI logo should be less prominent and up-side down, but that's just some very little things... love the concept nonetheless! will considering getting one when it hits the shelf.]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/

As for the article, not so much.

Flipping the clock when the lid is open would be a nice service to people sitting across from you (and would look less silly) ]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/But it can still have my babies]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/That's true, especially since having a soft keyboard requires looking at your fingers a bit more than with a standard keyboard.

However LCDs can have good viewing angles if you get a quality screen. The problem is that becomes more $$$, but i think in this case I think the extra expense would be required for usability.]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/
Sucks, really, what we get as LCDs at all sizes - as Kerensky97 said, there's good LCDs, but usually we get crap ones, or the quality varies widely. The eeePC 1001H and 1005 (first gen) had rather good screen's, whereas 1005PE and 1210N have rather mediocre ones. You never really know what you're going to get without someone doing measurements. ]]>Jan 8th 2010 9:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/

You can have more screen real estate in a more travel friendly form factor.

I also think that the screen(s) would have less of a chance of getting broken this way.]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/

I will take it off your hands if you want...

I just don't see this as anything more than a short term novelty. The future will contain innovation, this is just putting a ton of touch screens on a piece of hardware to try and appeal to people who are caught in the fad of the "touch screen everything". ]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Well it's there for the same reasons it's there on a normal laptop.. because decades of laptop ergonomics tells us that that is the best place for the main display. It's also the same reason tablet PC's suck unless you like to look downwards all the time or use your hand as a screen stand.]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/
That tech is being explored actually!

I like this device, but I'm not sure that I would want a laptop that I couldn't easily touch type on. Just a guess that this would not be a bit hard to work on in that sense.]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/That would be great. I think haptic feedback does a surprisingly good job of fooling the human mind into a false sense of button pressing though. I find it much easier to type on a screen which has vibrating feedback.]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/

But I have a question, Engadget is often reviewing very high end digital cameras. How come during CES a large percentage of photos in your stories look as if they were taken from a circa 2003 phone camera? Surely you guys have something better on your shelves (even a $75 canon point-n-shoot?) to take photos with?]]>Jan 8th 2010 3:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/Jan 8th 2010 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/msi-dualscreen-umpc-concept-had-us-at-dualscreen/
