Dual-(Full)-Screens

So, say that you're working on your laptop and think to yourself, "Dang. I wish I had two screens so that I could work and browse twice as fast...", say no more. gScreen has been working on a full-size dual screen laptop for a while now. Officially known as "The dual screen laptop company" (according to their own site, ha), gScreen gives some promising news to those of us who desire double the screens on our laptops. Now gScreen was not the first to come up with this idea of two screens. The Lenovo W700ds was one of the first dual-screen laptops. (see a photo of it here.) Weighing in at a whopping 11 lbs., the W700ds was no modern "notebook". Neither is gScreen's new creation, named the "Spacebook 2009". Weighing about the same weight, gScreen plans to ship with monitors coming in 15.4", 16", and 17". The screens also fold into one if you only need one for casual use. Awesome. This is gonna be perfect for software developers/programmers like me. But, not only does it have more viewing space than the bay window in living room, it has power. The Spacebook will be running a selection of Intel core 2 Duo 2.26Ghz processers, 4 gigs of ram, and a Nvidia 9800M GT or Nvidia Quadro FX 1700M graphics card, a 320gb, 7,200rpm hard drive, a nine cell batterie, AND will also be running windows 7 (optional XP pro) when it starts shipping, which will hopefully be this Christmas according to Gordon Stewart (founder of gScreen). Whether windows 7 runs well or not is entirely NOT up to them, ha. Stewart wanted to assure customers that, "It is absolutely the opposite of a netbook.", and it does seem that way. Stewart is hoping to keep the price of this beauty under $3,000. Mmm. I would honestly say that a price like that could be justified for this kind of art. The Spacebook 2009 brings power, viewing space, productivity and innovation to people like me who really need something like this. Having two or more windows is almost standard issue in the technical work environment now and I imagine many companies will be looking into this for their employees.
