Are you the type of person who has several different windows opened all at once and struggle to find the space to do work, or keep track of the various windows that you have opened on your desktop?
An Alaska-based notebook designer and manufacturer gScreen, aims to solve that problem, no matter where you are, with what can only be described as the PC version of a two-headed hydra: the dual-screen laptop. Now instead of only a compatible dual screen desktop there is now the adaptable dual screen laptop. Where you now can have your browser, iTunes, Tweetdeck, Word documents or any other folders open on a dual screen laptop.
It operates just the same way as a dual screen desktop, where various programs, folders etc can be dragged from one screen with other programs being visible at the same time on the other screen. However the laptop dual screen is slightly different, where the screens can be adjusted, it can be transformed into a single screen with the use of a horizontal sliding screen, (imagine a sliding door).

Though this laptop is ideal for designers programmers and film-makers, it is easy to see the compatibility of this device and that it allows you to get more work done!
The disadvantages of this device is the power/battery requirement that may be needed to power such a device, and also the price is a major issue, as it is said to cost a shocking estimated $3000 which is roughly about £1500.
The wait for these devices to be avaliable to the public will not be long as the dual screen laptops are scheduled to be released in Christmas.
