ASUS plans to ship two screens notebook

It's really special, I would never think of this kind of application. There are so many different variations if a notebook owns two screen.

The author introduces four type of modes.
1. Tablet mode. Snap the laptop open and flat, and the two screens work together as one giant touch screen.

2. Laptop mode. Open the virtual keyboard, which appears full-size on the bottom touch screen, and use like a regular clamshell laptop.

3. Book mode. Open an e-Book and hold it sideways like an open book. One page appears on the left screen and the next page appears on the right. Touch the corner to turn the page.

4. Two-person mode. Open it flat again like Tablet mode, but click a button to make one screen orient itself for one user and the other toward you.

ASUS 在 2009 年第一季,預計會出一台觸控式雙螢幕筆電。第一個螢幕就是目前一般筆電上的螢幕,另一個螢幕位於目前筆電的位置,原本的鍵盤被取代成螢幕。

這一款筆電有可能會搭載「視窗七號」,微軟最新的作業系統,如果微軟能順利出來的話。如果不行,根據作者的說法,會給購買者一個證明,等出貨後可以拿去換「視窗七號」。

這種雙螢幕的筆電蠻有趣的,作者介紹了四種模式的應用。

一、筆電攤平,兩個螢幕的空間變成了桌面。能顯示的空間變大了。

二、筆電模式,原本鍵盤那個位子的螢幕,虛擬出一個鍵盤,讓使用者輸入。

三、書本模式,就像書本開起來時一樣,能夠顯示電子書。

四、雙人模式,兩個螢幕分別由兩人操作,執行自己的程式或是玩對戰遊戲?

還蠻有趣的,原文在此。
