Twin-Screen Vista Laptops 176

Posted by CmdrTaco from the even-i-think-that-is-kinda-stupid dept.
An anonymous reader writes ""Asus has shown off a prototype of the first dual-screen laptop, the W5Fe. These laptops, bearing the Intel codename 'Newport' have a standard screen on the inside plus a smaller, additional colour display on the outside of the lid. The second display is capable of showing video, flight departure information, movie show times, alerts, games, movies, images and MP3s, all while the laptop is switched off. According to CNET, the battery requirement for such a screen is minimal — with standard laptop batteries providing hundreds of hours of use."

      A second motherboard is not necessary. But some kind of logic board is if you want the information on the second screen to be dynamic. A static display doesn't need any processing ability.

      I'm a little concerned with the hundreds of hours of display time. The display is one of the leading power suckers in laptops (the cpu is ususally the prime culprit). Unless it's a reflective lcd display (think calculator type where there is no backlight) it should drain the batter in a few hours.

        It's really not that far fetched. My mobile phone is more than capable of providing such information... if I were to power it from a laptop battery, and remove the transmitter (which drains a fair chunk of the battery power), it could probably reach those claims.

      If I remember correctly when these were first discussed years ago, that is in fact exactly the case. If memory serves its almost like an onboard PDA included with the laptop. When the laptop is on data is synched between the harddrive and the "pda" boards solidstate memory. I think there are some shared components like networking, etc but for the most part the PC is completely off and the "PDA" type functionalty runs almost completely seperately. Its been awhile so I could be remembering this incorrectly, but thats the basics of what I recall.

    I always thought that it was a daft idea then...
  • When I first saw the photo I thought they had a PDA sitting on top of the computer. Which made me think, why not have a PDA that can be "docked" into the top of the laptop in the same way this display and controls are? It cant take up too much more space then this current design. The device would allow people much more freedom (remove it from the laptop, conntect to your desktop) and always have the files,contacts/information updated to the PDA. Also many people who I think would use a feature like this
  • This is along the lines of those calculator mousepads. Utterly useless, but someone thinks people want to pay extra for it.

    So... you can get an iPod for $200 - $250 or you can buy a whole new laptop with this Thingy on it... I'd rather not drag my laptop out to do what I can do with an iPod + looking at the plane schedule on the wall.

      If you read what the technology is, you'd see it's not just a "screen on the notebook". You can have the info on your PDA, phone, smart watch, whatever. It automatically syncs with your inbox (and other data sources), so you don't have to worry about that. But, as with so many other people in this thread, don't bother to read up about it before you condemn it :) It is more fun that way.

    Honestly. Why not have the keyboard be it's own full resolution touch screen. That'd be hot beans. Have it display a digital keyboard... with neat GUI overlays. It' be like the Matrix! :)
  • So we are going to rely on fly times and e-mails displayed while WiFi is off? A cellphone this day is not more difficult to use than that second screen and it can get up-to-date information through GPRS. In any case, if that second screen is that useful, why not make it detachable from the laptop's cover so that we can show friends our photos without lagging around the powered off laptop? If it replaces the dell's round badge, even I will see the utility.
  • So now I can have a PDA that weighs the same as a laptop? If I'm not going to use the laptop, I'd prefer to stash it somewhere rather than lug it around.
    And if I've got the whole laptop with me anyway, why mess around with a tiny screen and no decent input method if I can have a 14" monitor and a full keyboard, just by opening the damn device ?

    Also, the damn laptop now has an unsightly bulge, making it twice as thick so it won't fit in my laptop bag. Keep the mongrel, I'll use my current laptop plus a separ

    Am I the only person that hates the little screens put on the outside of the shells of flip cell phones?
    The reason I buy a flip phone is because I want to protect the screen when it is in my pocket. Now, insted of a nice protective plastic cover, I have another LCD screen which can get broken. Now they want to do this to my laptop? No! The last thing my laptop needs is a screen that will get destroyed the firt time I accidentally hit a table with my laptop bag.
    The clamshell top has a purpose, to protect the screen, it is not just wasted space which could use another fragile part.

      That's not the only reason to buy them. Flip phones are smaller (at least in the dimension that counts) than bar phones with the same screen size and button count, and they protect the buttons from being pressed in your pocket. I like being able to see who's calling, or just check the time, without unflipping the

      • I will admit that the ability to use my cell phone as a watch is nice. My current phone (Samsung SGH-c417 [samsung.com]) has the front screen, which I do use to check the time. And size was an important factor in my choice.
        The problem is, one good bump and I expect that I am going to lose that screen. In order to keep that from happening I now use a belt holster for my phone, and I always make sure to put the phone into it with the screen facing my hip. I figure that my body will have more give than a table or chair
