Flip-Pad Voyager: Dual-screen Laptop
deitrahs writes "I came across this, and wept with joy. It's an Athlon-based, dual-head laptop. Yes, that's right - dual-head LAPTOP. Dual 13.3" displays. And it folds up like an old-school Transformer. Now I just need to find a buyer for this spare kidney so I can afford it - $5 thousand - but the expressions on people's faces at LAN parties will be OH so worth it."
Now you can run your batteries down twice as fast
I want a laptop with a 21" screen. A portable portfolio sized laptop. full sized keyboard dual processor multi drive. (and about 2 minutes of battery life ) That's where i'll spend my 5 grand.
cheers
Wow... imagine a beowulf clus.... naaah.

Cool, now I can watch a full screen movie and pretend to do actual work while on a plane... Bet the guy in the next seat will be impressed, and in the end isnt that all the matters?
You mean like the Star Trek reruns?
/. was discussing ternary computing, and how since binary digits are bits, ternary digits should be called ...
I like Star Trek too, but c'mon, that's a lame name.
Let's see... the feature of this laptop is that it has two monitors, monitors are something we're always looking at...
What's a good name for two of something we're always looking at? I'm reminded of when
And who on Voyager had the best set of tits? Seven of nine!
And what's seven minus nine?
I think I make my point.
Is this truly the only Earth I can live on?
The lead scientist for this project was the same guy who created monkies with two asses?
13 lbs isnt a lot you skinny nerd...go outside and do something sometime and build muscle instead of pasty white skin
the second asshole my wife will tear me if I buy this thing.
damn
You need to get out more. And becareful, you see that hot, bright yellow disk in the sky? We call it the sun. Don't look at it and don't stay out in it too long.
When the mainstream manufacturers start making these - THEN get ready for a drop in price, until then...

It is human nature to take shortcuts in thinking.
I love running multiple screens on my desktop machine, though. I had 3-20" Trins on my G3 for a long time. Great for flight sims.
Reminds me of a great trick I played on one of my coworkers... we were required to run a wintel machine on our desks just to access company email--something I could have done with VPC, but nobody would listen to me that I didn't want this ugly hunk of crap in my office, and could do without it.
So one late night, I hooked the PC screen up to my G4, transferred all the files over to VPC, and made sure the network connection was happy. Then, of course, all I had to do was set up VPC so it was running on the PC monitor.
To all appearances, both machines were now hooked up and running normally. (though it was somewhat quieter than before!)
Several days pass. No one notices that I'm only using one keyboard and mouse rather than two. Eventually, a Mac-curious coworker stops by for a chat. He asks how hard it is to move files over from PC to Mac and vice versa. Without skipping a beat, I grab a few files from the Mac desktop, and drag them over to the VPC screen. They copy flawlessly (of course). I showed him how you can move the mouse from one screen to another. His jaw dropped.
I said I had wireless networking between the two machines.

You catch enchiladas by picking them up behind the head and holding them underwater until they don't kick anymore -VeGas
Me too...
I'd also take issue with "folds up like an old-skool Transformer". It appears to have two hinged halves, one of which also rotates.
I have very strong memories of transforming vehicles from my childhood and we called things with 2 hinges and a swivel "Go-Bots".
