Anyone need a Dual-Screen laptop?

The day has finally come where all the multi-taskers can do what they do best, and this time they can multi task with programs on-the-go using a laptop. Many users out there in the world have dual monitors and a desktop PC. But to have dual monitors on a laptop would have been laughed at, a few years ago. Nowadays it is reality; the dual-screen laptop seems to have come to life.

gScreen, an Alaska-based laptop designed, wishes to bring this reality to the public with a price tag of around $3,000.

The specifications of the laptop are listed below:

-2 LED backlit displays
-Windows Vista/Windows XP Pro (Optional)
-4GB RAM (2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM x2)
-320GB 7200-RPM Hard Drive
-Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26GHz
-NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GT with 512MB dedicated memory (or)
-NVIDIA® Quadro FX 1700M Graphics with 512MB dedicated memory
-9-cell battery
-IEEE 1394 1 Graphics Card Output (15-pin, D-Sub) X 1, HDMI X 1 Mic-in X 1, Line-in x 1, Headphone X 1 PCI Express Card X 1 AC Power Adaptor Output: 19V DC, 90W Input: 100~240V AC, 50/60Hz universal Battery Pack Li-ion 9 cells

Being the first dual-screen laptop ever created it is mainly targeted for professional designers, programmers, filmmakers and the other few who all need two monitors to get their work done quicker and more efficiently, that is the main advantage of this two headed animal. But advantages don’t come without disadvantages either, since 2 screens will suck a lot more juice then 1 screen, and also being estimated at around 12+ pounds, it is much heavier than most laptops out there. The price tag might be the part that is going to bite the most which is estimated at around $3000 as mentioned above.

But you have to admit; with this baby in your hands you could probably increase your efficiency by twice as much. The good news is there won’t be such a long wait to grab your hands on one, hopefully being available on the market by Christmas.

So, does anyone think they will need a dual-screen laptop?
