Dual Screen/Display Laptop

Posted by michael on from the double-the-vaporware dept.

DrFishstik writes "A friend of mine sent me a link to his uncle's startup, featuring dual screen laptops. Literally, two LCDs! It is a really interesting design, and in (as far as I know) the late beta stages. Could be a real boon for video developers or web designers on the go down the road..."

    I am so not going back to that website after it attempted to install some comet cursor rubbish. Spyware, stay away.

    The Xentex Voyager is already available as far as I know. I covet the Linux version they claim they're developing drivers for. $5000 tho.

    As long as you don't run Win2k, that's fine. For some reason, MS completely broke laptop dual-heading under that OS. Works fine with two discreet graphics cards in a desktop apparently.

    Ah well, X2VNC is much better anyway, sure you need two machines, but one can be *nix and you get shared keyboard/mouse between the two displays and even better; cut & paste between them.

    And it's free. Highly recommended if you work with several machines and find yourself using the wrong mouse now and again...
