Dual Screen Laptop Market Gets Crowded

"Sure, gScreen is slowly mastering the art of grainy video teasers with its dual-panel portable, but here at its CEATEC booth, Kohjinsha's got quite a looker of its own, on display in a very clear and well-lit case. We're looking at two 10.1-inch LCDs each capable of outputting at either 1024 x 600 or 1366 x 768 resolution, and if one is all you need, it's a sliding mechanism to hide the other monitor."

I suppose laptop manufacturers are trying really hard to differentiate themselves these days since the traditional clam-shell form factor is no longer enough. Here we have a prototype notebook from Kohjinsha that sports dual screens. While they are not the first company to try this, it definitely shows that companies are willing to stray a little more from the netbook/notebook design. While I am sure there are some who say that just getting a bigger screen is better, I have always preferred having logically separated screens, and this baby folds up smaller than a high resolution 15 inch or bigger laptop, though it is admittedly thicker. The only thing that worries me about this laptop is that it could be top heavy, making how far you can adjust the viewing angle difficult. For more details, check out Engadget's video.
