looks good, definitely a winner at coffee shops, in case anybody is trying to look over your shoulder.

One slides behind the other. They look a little flimsy when opened up for both. The computer on the right is the same as the one on the left. Just displaying it when both screens are opened.

the limited height on some of these machines really surprises me. We will end up with 200 pixels height and 2,000 wide

I can imagine walking passed the table and accidentally knocking the machine onto the floor because the screens were sticking out. nasty ;(

I take it you *have* to use both screens? Or… does one screen slide behind the other so you can just use one screen if you like. That would be clever. I can’t work out if the computer on the right in the last image is the same one or a different, single screen model.

Looks very nice but to limited in height, and the border is not thin enough.
Maybe the next one will be better.

Looks a little flimsy to me. I would be afraid of snapping off the screens.

RT @Shibuya246: Dual Monitor Notebook, Japan Technology | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/BVOt A cool computer. Wouldn’t mind having 1 like that. Could watch anime on 1 screen and do your work or e-mails or commenting on Shibuya246 on the other screen. I saw this on the website Gearlog a few days ago. You would deffinately get the stares from people w/this machine.

I think it looks super cool, but can’t imagine opening it up in Starbucks or McDonalds and have people thinking I am setting up office for the day. What’s next? 4 screens?

That is pretty interesting.
I suppose it’s more portable than having a 17 inch notebook.
But the usage scenerio they describe i.e for Excell and word purposes you really are relying alot more on vertical space
than horizontal space. I myself am quite the multi-monitor workstation buff and having applications in full-screen side by side
is quite a handy thing to have, yet I still wouldnt buy this.
More of a cultural thing I suppose, for me if i want to do any *real serious* work i`ll do it on my powerfull workstation at home .
But Japanese people tend to lounge around eat & drink places to get work done so having this would be nice then; but i don’t think it`ll be popular outside of Japan if they even try to sell it outside.
