Default Dual Screen Laptops are Here


See this:

Review: Acer Iconia dual-screen laptop - Tech News - IBNLive


Cost around Rs 70,000/- (Acer model is available in India)

quote
"The most recent example is Acer Inc. with its $1,200 Iconia laptop. Closed, it looks like a regular laptop. Open it up, and you'll find no keyboard, but two 14-inch, touch-sensitive screens facing each other."

Agreed. Typing, is going to be a nightmare on one such laptop.

Seriously, good old tactile feedback is going out of fashion or what!

Everything ok but...
1 They feel more like 2 tablets
2 they have a high probability of flopping

I wont call it a laptop coz it doesnt have a physical keyboard

The Transformer Laptops have a much much better chance of being a huge hit.

I don't really see any good point in this. All i can think of is, it'd be a nightmare using this. Initially when i saw the title i thought it might be convertible as one big screen but the bar (?) in the middle totally takes that away. It'd be better to be able to combine both sides into one huge touch monitor, then that'd be awesome!

you are basically talking about something similar to iPAD with a large screen!!

your dream of such device may come true with iPAD 3 !!

For now you can lay your hands on this:

HP DREAMSCREEN or

Microsoft Surface (very expensive)
