    Is it just me or is the entire picture a digital drawing and not real?

    While its a really cool concept, just "saying" they have it is pretty weak IMO. Hopefully they will be able to come up with something.

    My dream is still the w700 that lenovo came up with, but with a 3rd screen off to the left as well :D

    Could be useful for lots of things. Office work and coding benefits from 2 screens... lots of games do too. If it isn't rediculously expensive and underpowered, I would be quite interested.

    The thing I don't like is that it looks like the top screen, the one that you would presumably use when in single screen mode, slides right, which is generally second screen, not first screen position. That seems like unnecissarily asking for problems to crop up with the display hopping screens or sticking on the wrong screen all the time.

    I'm willing to bet that the whole point of having this laptop will be negated by TN panels.

    I agree, it's a neat concept. But I think I can wait for version 2.0 ;)

    I think they would do better making Dual or Triple Screen setups as after-market upgrades for popular Workstation and Gaming Laptops (instead of tryi to build the whole computer part as well)

    If they slapped this on a Clevo D900F I'd be on it in a heartbeat.
