Want to Buy a Dual-Screen Laptop? Now You Can

Remember that snazzy dual-screen laptop prototype from Kohjinsha from about a month ago? While we still can’t decide if it’s a productivity boost or an unnecessary toy, things have gotten a bit more serious, because now you can actually buy it.

Looking at the price and the specifications, it actually sounds like a very good deal. The device sports two 10.1-inch TFT displays with a combined resolution of 2048×600 pixels; it’s powered by a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo, 1 GB of memory, ATI Radeon HD 3200, a 160 GB hard disk, and it all weighs 4.09 pounds. If you don’t mind having Linux (linux) as the operating system (you can have it with Windows 7 if you add 58 bucks to the price), the price is about $1,110, which is very cool for a novelty gadget like this.
