Kohjinsha Dual Screen DZ Series no longer just a conceptThe Kohjinsha Dual Screen DZ Series was at one point a concept but it has now somehow managed to get itself up onto retail shelves. The dual screen DZ series laptop packs dual 10.1 inch LED backlit display screens, Athlon Neo 1.6 GHz MV-40 CPU, 1 GB RAM (expandable to 4 GB), ATI Radeon HD 3200, 160 GB of storage, Wi-fi and a 1.3 megapixel web camera.

Those dual screens will cost you, so be prepared to fork out some dough. How much? It costs about 95,800 Yen (or $1,107) and is available in Japan.

GScreen's Dual-Screen Spacebook coming soonCheck out the photo above. It’s one of the first photos of an actual gScreen‘s dual 15.4-inch screen Spacebook. The company is targeting these dual screen laptops at professional designers, filmmakers, photographers and anyone else who thinks they need an extra screen.

The first units that come to market will feature 16-inch or 17-inch screens. The second identically sized screen slides out from behind the first and just like that you’ve doubled your fun. They are hoping that the first Spacebooks will be sold through Amazon.com by December.

Canova dual screen laptop inches closer to productionThis cool dual screen laptop concept from V12 designs may actually get into production soon. That’s due to the fact that V12 Design has teamed up with American firm Estari to help with development. Estari knows about developing dual screen computer things, including a 2-VU dual screen laptop from 2007.

In fact, their web page has changed to reflect the news that they’ve teamed up with V12 Design to make a laptop that looks something like this. If it turns out at all like this, it could very well revolutionize the laptop.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds gets official at $3,663

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on January 5th, 2009

Lenovo W700ds shows off on filmIt seems like it has been official ever since we first started slobbering all over it’s dual-screen goodness. Even with it’s first video appearance, it already seemed official. Then it really started showing off. They’re so cute at this age. Anyhow, the beast with two screens is now officially official.

At last it is confirmed by Lenovo, offering great performance, with a 17-inch primary display and a 10-inch slide-out panel. Details about exact configurations are sparse, but apparently buyers will be able to outfit them with high-end Intel CPUs, optional RAID HDD / SSD setups, NVIDIA Quadro FX graphics, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, dual-link DVI / Display Port / VGA support, a 7-in-1 card reader, five USB ports, WiFi, optional WiMAX, a smartcard reader and a dual thermal solution to keep things cool.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds on video

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on December 22nd, 2008


Dual screens on a laptop. Oh yes. We’ve been drooling over Lenovo’s W700ds, and now we have the laptop’s first widely available video. The unit in the video appears to be that of a pre-production model.

Another thing that you might have noticed is the wobble in that pull-out panel. Yikes, that thing looks fragile. It looks like it didn’t go back in too easy either. But we’re hoping Lenovo works out all it’s issues before it hits the market for real. I have no doubt that they will as they have a lot riding on this unit.

Posted in Lenovo by Conner Flynn on December 21st, 2008

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds dual-screen laptop detailsWe told you about this dual-screened ThinkPad a few days ago, but now more details have come to light. The W700ds comes with your choice of Intel Core 2 Quad processors and is combined with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M GPU. RAM maxes out at 8GB and SSD / HDD storage maxes out at 960GB.

The primary 17-inch screen is supposed to be the brightest on the market, and if that’s not drool-worthy enough, it sports an integrated WACOM digitizer. The 11 pound laptop starts at $3,600, so you’d better start saving your money for January it ships.

Nokia 3610 Fold announced

Nokia 3610 Fold
The Nokia 3610 Fold is an interesting handset just announced that features dual screens. The clamshell design features ergonomics that Nokia is calling “understated elegance.” Outside you’ll find a 1.3 megapixel camera with 6x digital zoom, along with the external display.

Inside you’ve got a 2-inch, 262K color screen and the Nokia phone softkeys. It also supports up to 4GB microSD cards. It gets released officially in the third quarter of this year at $186. While I wouldn’t call it sexy, it does have a certain charm. It’s aimed squarely at those who just want basic features without a bunch of bells and whistles.

Plica phone concept with dual screen display

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on July 31st, 2008

Plica phone concept with dual screen displayThe iPhone may have some competition if this dual screen display concept is ever realized. It’s called the Plica phone and it’s like the Nintendo DS of phones. One of the screens is a touch screen keyboard, the other functions as a touch monitor. You can also view an entire web page on a single display or have them spread out across both.

Designer James Piatt’s idea was no doubt inspired by the DS Lite and has a ton of potential. It’s one concept that has a decent chance of seeing the light of day. I’d say that if Nintendo were going to build a phone, it would be something very similar to this rather then a Wii phone.

Xentex laptop knows when to fold em

Xentex laptop knows when to fold em
Much like Kenny Rogers, the Xentex laptop knows when to fold em. It knows when to walk away and when to run. It wasn’t satisfied with simply opening and closing. Oh no. It can fold twice for portability. That means that the system has two 13.3″ screens that can independently swivel so you can share your stuff with your friends sitting opposite you.

Together, the screens combine to measure 19.5″ across for a huge display. Inside it’s got an 850MHz Athlon processor and 128MB of memory. It’s kind of like having a Rubik’s computer. It can be found on ebay and as of this writing it’s at $405.00 with 11 bids, 6 days to go.

OLPC XO 2.0 headed our way

Posted in OLPC by Conner Flynn on May 20th, 2008

OLPC XO 2.0
With the success of the XO laptop from OLPC, it makes sense to start working on a second generation device called the XO 2.0. It will be much smaller compared to the first one, and will feature a foldable e-book factor.

It will also be just half the original’s size, with dual indoor-and-sunlight displays that provide both a right and left page when held vertically, a hinged laptop in horizontal format as well as a flat, dual screen continuous interface for tablet mode. Power suckage has been reduced to just an impressive 1 watt. You’ll have a nice long wait though, since it will be released sometime in 2010.
