Houses 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 processor, runs Windows 7 operating system
Seems like dual-screen laptops would be the next major thing in mobile computing. Acer has been quietly developing dual-screen laptop and images of the prototype were tipped by TechReviewSource. From the images, the laptop looks like a laptop integrating a tablet to get touchscreen keyboard and trackpad. The source who passed on the images to TRS noted that the dual screen laptop was merely a prototype and was sluggish. At this moment, details about the distinct functions of both screens haven't been divulged or leaked.
Back in June, Toshiba announced limited edition Libretto W100 dual screen laptop with multi-touch support on both screens. Acer might be working on this dual screen laptop that houses 2.66GHz Intel Core i5 microprocessor. This dual-screen laptop would run Windows 7 operating system but there's no word on whether both screen would support multi-touch or not. Let's hope that the laptop makes the best of touted touchscreen capabilities of the Windows 7 operating system.
The second screen that replaces the physical keyboard and track pad would also work as a drawing pane. This dual-screen laptop is not due for public demonstration till September 2011. How much do you think the dual screen that offers optical keyboard and trackpad would suffice your needs? Tablet PCs haven't solved the issue of touchscreen based typing experience.
Let's hope that on-screen keyboard offering keyboard lets you make less typos than the physical keyboard.
there has been several attempt to redesign keyboard(after all its a 19th century design including qwerty layout, diagonal keys).... but all of that failed... touch screen might just replace the thumb keyboard in mobile,but I think it isn't still there to replace laptop keyboard..
