What laptops need!
« on: November 30, 2008, 10:15:55 AM »
Was using my Sister-In-Law's laptop over Thanksgiving. After about 5 minutes that was enough for me. The constant scrolling etc. What I think Laptops need is Triple head to go. Man that would make them just a little more friendly. You could have the LCD displays folding out. Would be nice.

My wife's laptop which is a little over 4 years old is quite the beast.  Weighs about 8 pounds and can be kind of a pain laying in bed with it.  I'm not sure how portable your 3 screen system would be :)

One of those netbooks with an LED monitor that hinges in the middle...  That would be nifty.  They're running 1024x600, and having one fold so it was 1024x1200 or so would be sweet.  The LED displays are very thin so stacking a second monitor on top of the first would add maybe 1/4 inch to the total thickness.  Power consumption would increase of course, but I think a lot of people would be willing to giv up 30 min of use to get double the vertical screen size.  It would end up about the size of a regular piece of paper, which is plenty large enough to do real work on.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Quick, patent your idea and sell it to acer, msi, asus, or lenovo :)  Don't sell it to sony because those guys are jerkwads.

Make sure to invent some new super-battery as well if you plan to use them away from an outlet. :O
