The World's First Four-Screen Laptop

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the four-is-better-right dept.

Barence writes "Intel has stunned visitors at IDF by showing off the world's first four-screen laptop. The oddly-named 'Tangent Bay' has three miniature touchscreens set horizontally into the case below the main, full-sized panel. It is a fully functional prototype: delegates were able to scroll photos around the touchscreens by swiping with a finger. The idea smacked a little too much of the ill-fated Vista SideShow." Seems strange that they would put the screens above the keyboard. I think embedding an iPhone type touchscreen in place of the trackpad would be a far more useful thing.

    This one reeks of shades of this article.

    With Win7 coming soon, it seems a little strange that Intel is messing around with Vista instead of the upcoming OS.

    Yo dawg, I heard you liked LCD screens, so we put an screen in your screen in your screen in your screen in your laptop so you can watch porn while you watch porn while you code while you watch more porn.
