Two-screen laptops: complete overkill, or completely logical? - News - PC & Tech Authority


The laptop with two screens is an idea that just won't go away. Is this an idea we should look at more closely?
If you haven’t seen the photos of this laptop with two screens doing the round of the Web, take a look below.

With two 17in HD LED displays, the SpaceBook goes against every trend in laptop design we can think of (well, apart from the Core i7 and Core i5 processors). It's more than 1.7in thick, weighs more than 4.5 kilograms, and according to its makers has the world's largest laptop screen space. While it sounds a bit like vaporware, prototype models have been pictured online, and the company is apparently taking preorders.

Researchers ride waves for better spin current

British researchers have developed a more efficient method of generating current for transferring information in 'spintronics', touted as the successor to the transistor.


Spintronics taps the 'spin' -- instead of the charge -- of an electron for storing, processing and communicating information.
