We've known Japanese PC manufacturer Kohjinsha to roll out an unusual notebook from time to time, but with the CEATEC trade show taking place on home territory this week, the company's really pushing the boat out with a system dubbed the Dual Screen PC.
As the name suggests, this here notebook sports not one, but two 10.1in LCD displays - each providing a 1,366 x 768 resolution.
In a manner similar to the existing Lenovo W700ds mobile workstation, Kohjinsha's system features a second display that slides in behind the first. What's useful here, however, is that both displays are mounted onto sliding rails - allowing for a centred dual-screen viewing experience.
The surprises don't stop at the dual-screen displays, either. Judging by Kohjinsha's listed spec, the Dual Screen PC appears to be based on AMD's Yukon platform, complete with a 1.6GHz Athlon Neo MV-40 processor and integrated ATI graphics.
We like the notion of dual-screen notebooks, but Kohjinsha's system is merely a prototype and there's absolutely no mention of battery life - we wonder why?
