For once, when I saw this, I didn’t think “Man, that’s stupid” at first glance.
As strange and counterproductive as a laptop with 3 lcds might sound, for the right applications, it actually a good idea. As the article says, it’s not really a laptop, but a “portable industrial PC.” I mean, there are people out there who do monitoring, and other system analysis who need to have two monitors each showing a readout at a reasonable size, and the third to actually show the computers desktop. Yes, you could just pack a laptop and two external LCDs into a hard case and carry it around. Or you could just build them into the computer.
Laptop, portable industrial PC, I’d still like one to play Halo on…..3 whole screens. . ..
