I saw this article and thought others might enjoy it. A dual screened laptop (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6105506/Dual-screen-laptop-on-sale-by-Christmas.html) is headed to the masses by this Christmas.
The gScreen Spacebook will boast two 15.4 in screens which can slide away to fill the space of a single screen when the laptop is being stored or transported.
The dual-screen laptop is aimed at professional video editors, photographers and designers who need to flick between different applications to carry out their work.
But anyone willing to meet the expected $3,000 (£1,835) price tag should be warned that the double screen is likely to push the weight of the Spacebook significantly above standard laptops. The energy demands of running two monitors will also prove a drain on the computer's batteries.
Other technology firms have produced laptops with smaller bolt-on second screens, but this is believed to be the first model with twin monitors of equal size.
Very cool and handy as I am addicted to having dual monitors at work.
