I am afraid to see how much this beast weighs. But nonetheless, still a lot more portable than carrying a dual screen desktop around. http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/15/gscreens-dual-screen-spacebook-touts-twin-17-inchers-now-up-fo/
when im traveling: I use 2 large screen HP 20.5" laptops.... thats 2 screens PLUS redundancy in case one of the laptops dies on me for whatever reason. its the best way to go *** with that Gscreen laptop, if the mb or hard drive goes, both screens become useless.
here is a link, they are not in production anymore, i bought mine at COMPUSA for $2150 each, a lil over a yr and half ago, not cheap http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4041 and its 20.1"....not 20.5".....my mistake, for some reason i thought they were .5", not like the .4" difference is a big deal, ........hell, its over 20" !! Hope fully someone else will come up with a new laptop of the same size sometime soon, no doubt will be at least $2000
The CPU spec does not has something to do with trading directly. But does have to do with pricing. You can buy laptops today a little over $1000 with CPU performance and memory and disk space surpassing that IBM Thinkpad design. So you are paying $1400 extra for the sliding second LCD screen.
Maybe somebody will make a shirt that doubles as a screen. Put the shirt on your gf, buy some coffees, and trade from a cellphone... There might be technical issues that had to be ironed out. 3d plots of backtested parameter spaces might be distorted if your gf was really built but who couldn't live with that?
