The Lenovo Dual Screen Laptop. How Would You Use It?

I’m telling ya, you wake up one morning and screens are just sliding out all over the place. Soon they’ll be yelling, ‘touch me!’, ‘no, touch me!’ – but for now look what Lenovo is sliding out to the masses January 5th at CES.

The Lenovo W700ds. A laptop with a slide-out secondary screen. Magnificent, don’t ya think? Kinda malignant tumor looking, but with the specs this thing has, you could run a little 3D modeling, a little video editing and more. Check it out.

Dual Screen for CAD
Do you use Dual Screen mode. SolidWorks picked up support for it with 2009, Rhino in 4.0 – a lot of users were demanding it, but how do you actually use it? For toolbars? documents? To me it almost makes more sense to have the keyboard slide out instead and have two full-sized screens. Soon enough I imagine. Before long, the keyboards will go away and virtual keyboards will be part of a secondary touchscreen OLED display. You know it’s true. Here’s some nice pics.
