Digital Home Thoughts: Lenovo Showscases Dual Screen Laptop

"This really doesn’t look like something that will catch on, but it’s certainly momentous. The Lenovo W700DS has one 17-inch display like its predecessor, and another 10-inch one that slides out from behind. Madness, you say? Yeah, I agree."

I've always found that the extra screen real estate of a second monitor adds considerably to productivity and it has always frustrated me that laptops have always lacked an effective option to have a second monitor. Yes, many laptops do offer secondary displays, but hooking up an extra monitor, and positioning it to compliment the main display is quirky at best. While some my balk, I'm finding this new laptop from Lenovo deliciously tempting. While the 10 inch display is a bit small, it can still be useful for showing handy supporting information on whatever I'm working at.
