This.

On the high end, underneath the Spacebook you can find an Intel i7 quad-core 1.73GHz processor, 8GB DDR3 RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M 1 GB Discreet GPU, and a 500 GB hard drive. On the input and output side of things, the Spacebook comes equipped with three USB 2.0 ports, a HDMI out, SD card management, headphone and mic jacks, and a Firewire port.

With a weight of 4.5kg and a battery life of 10minutes, why not just carry a desktop and ups around with you?

Wtf springs to mind.

Ahleckz · 19 Jul 2011 at 01:25

That's madness. Imagine the battery drain! :O

Perhaps the most pointless technological endeavour in the history of technology.

I LOVE dual screens... I think a dual-screen laptop can be pulled off, but only if you have the option to only use one screen as well.

Meh with a capital "Meh".
The Thinkpad W700DS did this without looking like a fisher-price "My first laptop"

All aboard the fail boat fuggly little thing

Wouldn't be such a bad idea if it didn't ruin the battery life.

This really.

Dual screen is so mainstream. You should see my tri-screen laptop.

And I bet they will sell loads. I can see this being perfect for media, military (ruggedised if it's not already) and other mobile producers.

Lug that out the back of the car/van/lorry, stick it on a table and plug it in to the genny and you are away to do all the producing you need.

(that is of course it it is the first proper dual screen laptop, the thinkpad is more a screen and a half).

No way dude, 'no-screen' is the new tri-screen. Everything done by memory :cool:

It kind of fits my needs actually.

I tend to move house a lot, so I like to have as few possesions as possible. I currently use two lappys with two monitors.

This thing is basically ideal for me. Or at least it will be in 5 years time when the technology has matured a little and the price is more reasonable.

This is pretty much the response it got in the laptop forum. I guess innovation is irrelevant unless you slap on an Apple logo.
