Aug 30 2009Dual Screen Laptops Here Before Christmas (You Hear That, Santa? You Fat Bastard You)
So apparently the dual 15.4" screened gGscreen Spacebook will be released in time for Christmas this year. Also, the elves I've been holding hostage. BUT ONLY IF SANTA MEETS MY DEMANDS.
The Alaska based company, started by Gordon Stewart (yep, that is where the G in gScreen comes from), is aiming its dual screen laptops at professional designers, filmmakers, photographers and really anyone who can't live without a dual screen for everyday productivity...The chassis (which we expect is at least 12 pounds) is built around the 15.4 inch screen (though the first units that come to market will have 16-inch or 17-inch screens) and its twin, identically sized screen slides out from behind the first using a uniquely designed sliding mechanism.
They will run Windows 7 and be powered by Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 4GB of RAM and high-end Nvidia GF900M GT discrete graphics. The plan is for fast 7,200 RPM hard drives and six or nine-cell batteries...."It is absolutely the opposite of a netbook," he told us. Yea that is no kidding with a price tag that he is hoping to keep under $3,000.
Damn! 30" of screen real estate, that's a lot. This thing isn't even a laptop any more. It's a muffintop. ZING!

Why would anyone need such a big ass screen on their lap? For filming a POV pron???

This does not seem practical. I'm fine with one screen thank you. I have tabs.

Seeing as it's not exactly as portable, why don't you just purchase a desktop?
9. Truk - August 30, 2009 3:58 PM
this is obviously for fat people's laps.

It looks really cool but it's just cheaper to buy a desktop and two flat monitors than that besides it will definetly fry your nuts after 10 minutes.

I thought the G in gScreen stood for "Groin", or Godzilla.

wait so does the second screen work or is it just fake?
14. Iris - August 30, 2009 8:57 PM

Some cool things do come out of Alaska! Hopefully the rest of the US can forgive us for Palin now.

Except, two 15" screens give you exactly half the real estate a 30" screen does. Do I need to explain why?

It's actually called a "Spacebook"? It's just asking me to buy it!

Do want! Plus, it also has a vga port to add another monitor! A 1-2 punch with a roundhouse kick. Look at this, JESUS CHRIST!!

@15
Don't blame you...I blame the moose for not wearing flak jackets and hiring Blackwater to cover their asses while she's out hunting. Problem would've been solved a long time ago.

After seeing this and getting drool on my keyboard, I've been in the market for a new laptop.

Im not even sure what to think i love having two multi-screens. But really, on a laptop the sec you take it out to turn on the power needed to keep the screens on would send it back into sleep or off mode.
