Dual-headed Laptops

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-different dept.

Baloo Ursidae writes "ABC News is reporting that some little upstart in PA is making dual headed laptops. Orient it like a book, you have two portrait-oriented touch sensitive monitors. Orient it like a laptop, and one of the monitors becomes a soft keyboard. Not cheap, however, they start at $4,000." That is absolutely nuts. More power to 'em!

    Wow! A keyboard with all of the feel of the famous Atari 400 keyboard!

    Like this, this, or this (for the truly brave). Speaking from experience, the context sensitive screens are cool, but the lack of tactile feedback is unfortunate.

    These are touch screen LCDs. Here is a 15" desktop model for the low price of $597. Imagine the costs of making it portable, then doubling it.
