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."

    Uhh, at 6kg (13.23 lbs), I think I might come up with better term to describe it.

      Uhh, at 6kg (13.23 lbs), I think I might come up with better term to describe it.

      I think all laptop designers should be required to carry a "laptop" of that weight, with other "necessary" accessories, plus 20lb of contract papers and junk, and walk all day long, for 3 days, and then, they can go back to design laptop, and see what criteria they will value more (hint: weight).

      For those of you working in "customer-facing" department, and if your company refuses to buy lighter laptops for reason of uniformity, you know what I mean.

      Carrying these heavy thingies is going to break your back. Hope your company's disability insurance cover that.

  3. Dual Head on a Laptop... by ackthpt · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seriously, why? Looks like the page orientation is a throw-back to the old Radius monitors, but too small to be of much good for graphic design. Also, laptops tend to have the very low-end of graphic card support, so I wouldn't expect it's much good for LAN parties, unless you're still playing NSNIPES.

    ...or was anyone else expecting to see a laptop that had two *FULL*-sized displays that folded out of it? This is really disapointing.
