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!

    I looked at building these in 99
    problem was a small run cost too much and would only be a 486

    Now that tech has cought up and folk can buy parts from all over the place I may go back to my old designs.

    More power to these folks. Congrats.

    neat. I don't want to clean those fingerprints off the keyboard-screen all the time though.
