Obviously the small Alaska-based company missed that cut off, but we're told there's a reason -- and it's an interesting one at that. Apparently the two 15-inch displays didn't provide enough screen real estate, and the company has now opted to use two 17.3-inch screens."</em></p><p><img height="430" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/wpt/auto/1266158416.usr11334.jpg" style="border: #d2d2bb 1px solid;" width="578" /></p><p>While the idea of the dual screen laptop is great in theory, I really don't think it looks good in practice. To start with, this laptop looks huge in the pictures and doesn't really look too portable. I'm not even sure that having two screens in front of you in a straight line would be easy to use and view. I have two monitors at work and I find I have to angle them in slightly to make them easier to see, or have one in front and one angled to the side. Having said that, there is no doubt that two screens definitely improves my productivity. If you were in the market for a laptop, would this be something you would be looking for?</p>
