Razer Built a Laptop With Three Screens Because Why Not? (engadget.com)
At CES in Las Vegas today, Razer unveiled a prototype that could change the way we play. Behold: Project Valerie, the world's first laptop to incorporate three built-in monitors. From a report on Engadget: Each screen measures 17.3 inches with 4K resolution -- that's 12k total (11520 x 2160) viewing space. They slide out from the central lid chassis under their own power and autonomously position themselves to create a full 180-degree viewing area, powered by NVIDIA's Surround View technology, which enables programs to spread a single image across multiple monitors. All of the computer's wiring is internal so you won't have to worry about snagging power cords as the screens deploy. The Valerie also utilizes Razer's short-throw keyboard, an all-aluminum case and the computing prowess of the 17-inch Blade Pro. No word on pricing.
3 minute battery life.
They are targeting gamers here (and gamers with too much money, at that). Gamers don't care about battery life as they are going to be plugged in all the time anyways. Gamers that can afford such an absurd setup are probably followed around by butlers who are willing to carry car battery powered UPS units for them if they really want to be "portable". This has very nearly no practical use.

I can carry a power cord much easier than I can two extra monitors.
It likely wasn't looks of jealousy, but of derision.
