    What is with all the widescreen love? I want a "notebook": a portable computer with a portrait display. I don't deal with excel spreadsheets and I don't want to watch movies. I work with documents - email, contracts, etc - so I always run in portrait mode. Why do all these netbooks give me 10 lines of vertical space to work with. It's not even conducive to most web browsing.

    Maybe if I could open the netbook and rotate the display, that would work. Actually, I'd probably buy that in a second. Anyone know of such a device? #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    @psxndc: Widescreen displays mimic the human perspective which is why they're so widespread. #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    @aek8: wow. Of all the justifications I've heard (mainly around movies), that is the first that I've ever seen it drawn to how we take in information. Interesting (and thank you). #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    I'm a big fan of multiple display setups - I currently run a 24" widescreen and a 19" standard display (which both have about the same vertical size). I use the 19" display for email, IM and widgets, and the main display as my work area. So a netbook with multiple displays appeals to me for sure, even though I tend to do only the most rudimentary work with my netbook, maybe if I had more screen I wouldn't feel so constrained. #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    @weatherman: i still find my biggest annoyance with multi display setups is the middle black bit. WHY OH WHY does there have to be an edge to the screen. if it was seamless i would buy 10 instantly and use ATi eyefinity #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    @shokwaav: you get used to it, especially if you use each screen as a a separate workspace. But if you're looking to run a 180 degree flight sim, I could see how the bezels would be annoying. #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    The netbook, one of the cheapest categories of portable computers, combined with dual monitors, which are one of the most expensive (and power-grubbing) components of electronics.

    @OCEntertainment: It's kind of like how a lot of movies go. The later ones are introduced first then they go back and make the prequels. And so it is with the original laptops and netbooks. Laptops came first and evolved into larger beasts. Then we went back and made their smaller netbook ancestors that are slowly evolving into laptops. #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    I love having a dual screen setup. Most people question it but it's something that once you use for a little while you don't want to give up. It's sad because at work I'm the only developer without twin wide screens (being an intern and all).

    As for the lappy, slider mechanism looks a little fiddly but other than that pretty awesome. #kohjinshadualscreennetbook

    The direction for laptops should be smaller and "less of"...not bigger and more!

    Still, a sliding dual-screen IS pretty cool concept :-)

    in order for this to be a true netbook, the price has to stay below $500.

    @GeekyWarrior: 10.1-inch screen with low-powered CPU, 160GB hard drive. For all intents and purposes it's a netbook.

    Ok, I do like this idea. I like the USB powered screens more, but this will work. I'm pretty sure my next netbook/laptop upgrade in about three years will be to this style, if available and reliable.
