gScreen Dual-Screen Spacebook Laptop

If you are a multi-tasker like I, you would probably be looking at two screens right now. I actually do not like that, therefore I am just relying on a 20in LCD screen. Hehehe.

Anyway, gScreen, an Alaskan based technology firm has come out with a dual-screen laptop which they named Spacebook and should be available this Christmas.

If you are hankering for a laptop which boasts two 15.4in screens, then be prepared to pay approximately US$$3,000 for it. Do bear in mind that the double screen will significantly increase the weight of the laptop and would be a battery hungry machine.

Without taking the price into account, I am not sure if my eyes would ever get used to looking at two screens simultaneously. I know I would be very distracted and I would not be able to concentrate and do some real work.

Also, carrying my 12 in laptop has become quite a chore now that I am thinking of replacing it with a netbook especially when I am on the move too much. I really don’t see myself capable of carrying a Spacebook for long without feeling the burden. And oh, the battery, I wonder if it comes with a slot for a backup travel battery! But that would only make the Spacebook even heavier. LOL
