Kohjinsha Dual Screen Netbook on Video
Remember that netbook we showed you a while back that had two screens for doubling your viewing pleasure? The Kohjinsha netbook is only a prototype, but a video has surfaced that shows how the thing works. The design is very well done, with one screen that slides behind the other. The notebook can thus be used as a normal netbook with one 10.1-inch screen, or as a dual-screen device with the other 10.1-inch screen extended. Take a look at the video and see if you’d find this a workable solution for those who need a wide screen.

Did you see the swivel version??? I’m more interested in that!
Looks neat. I wonder how durable it will be when it gets into
the hands of the consumer though?
I’m waiting for the dual screen/keyboard laptop. Use it as
a double page book, tablet, or standard laptop with one screen
being the keyboard.
Looks interesting, but the keyboard looks horrible. I see all the chatter on the web about how nice chiclet, island-style keyboards are, and I’m not buying – slows down my typing, and I’ve yet to find one that feels solid enough for my ham-fisted touch-typing. Give me sculpted keycaps any day of the week! Having said that, if a couple of years down the line, Lenovo were to introduce a dual-screen notebook with a proper keyboard, I would most definitely be interested.
I wonder what is going to keep the rear screen from getting scratched…
