Dual-screen hits Netbooks

Though Lenovo started the trend of having two screens on its workstation portable, Kohjinsha believes in bettering this with two 10.1-inch panels on its Netbook.

Showcased at Ceatec 2009 in Japan, the prototype minilaptop runs on an AMD Neo MV-40 1.6GHz processor, 4GB RAM and 160GB HDD. The secondary screen slides behind the first for storage, which makes the unit thicker than your average Netbook. Details on when, or if, this unit will hit mass production is not available at this time. But we do know this: Battery life is going to take a major hit with two power-hungry displays. Also, don't forget another multiscreen laptop , the Tangent Bay concept, which was displayed at Intel San Francisco IDF 2009.

I could use this same concept on my ASUS U6Sg, could have the option to just use one screen while traveling to conserve battery, use both screens when set up at office or home. 2nd option is to still have the ability to plug in external monitor providing 3 screens. That's my goal and not asking too much.

The shipping model might come with dual 1366x768 displays rather than the 1024x600 from what I've read elsewhere. That could be enticing.
