Dual Screen Laptops?!
-
I think it will be a pretty uncomfortable to work on it, because the distance between eyes and monitors is very small. Also, the price is prohibitively expensive.
-
Is it just me, or are laptops (aside from netbooks - I love my EeePc) gradually turning into desktops with batteries?

That thing is going to be heavy, man, real heavy! When the technology arrives for those roll-up screens, I think it would become much more viable. Also, as has been said by another poster, there would be too much head/eye movement involved due to the proximity of the screens, or alternatively too long a stretch for comfortable typing if they are placed farther away.

Bye-bye, battery life. Also, looks a bit impractical on the move and therefore, if it's a desktop replacement, I think I'd just go for a single screen laptop and buy two nice big 24" monitors.

Cool tech! :-) If I was interested in a portable second screen for my laptop though, I'd probably want a thin, flat separate monitor that I could stick in the second pocket of my laptop bag and then pull out and plug in when I was doing something that needed a second screen. These days I find having a laptop with a single large screen (17" WS) suits my needs most of the time, so I don't often even plug in another monitor.

How about a laptop without a screen but instead a pair of 3D googles?

They might as well make the back of the laptop a monitor as well. That way, you can flip the third monitor over the top of the other two and have a third battery drainer.

Yeah... When you use it, people in front of you will think that, you are watching a tennis game... :-D
