Now this is quite something! A US based company, Gscreen Computers, is readying a dual screen laptop that might go on sale sometime later this year. The laptop will consist of a main display and a slide out expandable display, which will give the laptop huge screen real estate.
Each of the screens will have a 1280×800 pixel resolution (which might be too low by today’s standards) and will measure 15.4 cm. However, the widescreen effect should more than make up for this. Dual screens apart, the laptop is as “normal” as a laptop could be - save for the specifications, which is not bad at all. The base version will ship with the following configuration Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 @2.26GHz, 4GB RAM, a 320GB hard disk. As for the graphics, it might either pack in a Nvidia GeForce 9800M GT or a Nvidia Quadro FX 1700M - both with 512MB memory.
The only concern with this laptop may be its power hungry requirements and it is likely that it will ship with a 9-cell battery to give it a decent backup time. When launched, the laptop is expected to cost around $3000. It will run either Windows XP or Vista, although it makes sense to ship this one with Windows 7 installed.
