Productivity Enhancing: The First
Dual-Screen Laptop
No you’re not seeing
double!
Estari Inc., a provider of digital document management software,
has introduced the first dual screen laptop, dubbed Estari 2-VU.
The 2-VU has two, full-sized 15-inch diagonal screens and a
Microsoft XP OS, giving it all the features of a laptop, paired with
a reading experience that is superior to that of a PC or a dedicated
e-reader, the company said.
With two full-page displays, users can view two documents or
files simultaneously. For example, page through two books at once or
take handwritten notes in a notebook on one screen while paging
through a book on the other screen.
According to Estari’s CEO Dr. George Crist, the 2-VU’s design
has "proven to increase reading speed, comprehension and
retention."
