The Chinese PC maker, Lenovo has introduced the world’s first dual-screen laptops. It has 17-inch display and a smaller 10.6-inch display that slides out from the laptop.

Web designers, technologists and photo experts prefer a dual screen so that they can run many applications simultaneously without interfering one another. This Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds will satisfy their needs with its novel dual-screen in the laptop.  Lenovo, the world’s fourth-largest PC maker will unveil this new laptop at the Consumer Electronic Association’s (CES) trade show in Las Vegas this week.  Craig Merrigan, vice president of global consumer marketing made this announcement during a conference call with the press.  

“We like to call it the nitro-burning funny car dragster of ThinkPads,”

 The laptop has the original 17-inch display with a built-in smaller 10.6-inch display that slides out of the laptop. It weighs 10.9 pounds (4.94 kilograms) compared to its lightest (4.6 pounds or 2.09 kilograms) Lenovo Y series laptops.  Merrigan added that the dual screens will help the users very much. They can use the second screen for reference, while they do their main work in the primary screen.  They can also watch TV or movies in the smaller screen.  The ThinkPad W700ds price starts at $3,663.  There is a detailed review about this laptop at this link.  The dual-screen laptop from Lenovo may not suit all but it will help designers for sure.
