"Iconia" dual screen laptop from Acer
Acer have stepped their game up in releasing a new dual-screen laptop - the laptop has two 14in displays, it keeps the standard design of a laptop essentially just replacing the keyboard with another display.
The Iconia, which was unveiled at a press conference in New York, features two touch-screens protected by ultra-tough Gorilla Glass. The device can be used like a traditional laptop, with the second screen doubling as a virtual keyboard, or can double as a tablet-style computer.
Users can spread the desktop across both screens, or use one to watch a video or surf the web, and the other to write an email or edit photos. The device features palm sensors to detect the position of the user’s hands, and automatically launch the virtual keyboard when needed.
I myself dislike laptops and i like my physical keyboard. Thoughts?
