Intel debuts concept notebook with four displays

Juniper Foo | Sep 22, 2009

SAN FRANCISCO--Talk about extreme multitasking. If two displays on a notebook, like Lenovo's ThinkPad W700ds' Side Panel, don't do the trick for you, Intel's about to up the ante with four. Yes, that's four--one primary LCD screen and three auxiliary OLED ones above the keyboard. The aim here is to allow the user to organize information the way he or she prefers it.

Touted as the world's first multitouch, multiscreen concept solution, the prototype (codenamed Tangent Bay) was unveiled at the Mobility Meetup, an Intel Insiders event for bloggers in San Francisco this evening. We got Intel rep Renuka Awasthi to demonstrate the touted seamless interaction between the main screen and auxiliary displays. The Mobile Product Line marketing manager for Greater Americas at Intel Corp. showed some music files being dragged and dropped between the OLED panels using a finger, as well as flipped video files up to the main LCD display from the auxilliary panels with ease. One could also contract, zoom, scroll and pan content from one screen to another.

This machine can play up to 12 videos at one go, see the demo at the last video. Too bad there was some error msg at the last bit though, but we shouldn't expect too much from prototypes.
