SpaceBook Dual-Screen Laptop from GScreen Now Up

Dual-screen devices aren't exactly a new idea, but the way GScreen went about things when it put together the SpaceBook is definitely not similar to what Sony did with the S2 tablet.

When speaking of dual-display devices, one is most likely to envision an electronic that has a second screen where the keyboard should be.

Sony's S2 tablet, which will start selling through AT&T soon, is one example of such an invention. Its panels featuring a diagonal length of 5.5 inches.

Still, the product that GScreen has been working on it something more along the lines of a device revealed as early as February, 2010.

Basically, in order to maximize the workspace, the company gave the SpaceBook laptops two panels that, when the notebook is opened and arranged for work, has them stand side by side.

Said LED-backlit displays aren't even small either, as they boast diagonals of 17.3 inches and support for the Full HD image quality (the native resolution is of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels).

Of course, such big and high-resolution panels would be wasted on just any hardware configurations, so the company chose to pair Intel CPUs with NVIDIA graphics and 4 GB or 8 GB of DDR3 RAM (random access memory).

Speaking of processors, an Intel Core i5-560M CPU of 2.66 GHz or a quad-core Core i7 model (1.73GHz Core i7-740QM) is implemented, while the discrete GPU is a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250M.

Meanwhile, storage space is provided by a hard disk drive of 500 GB and platter speed of 7,200 RPM (rotations per minute). Furthermore, a DVD burner is part of the configuration.

Depending on the hardware combination, the GScreen SpaceBook 17 has a base price of $2395 or $2795, although it appears that there is a promotion going on, with 50% cuts ($1195 and $1395, respectively).
