Ergonomic Dual Screen Split Keyboard Notebook Portable Personal Computer Executive - Now That’s a Mouthful!

It’s called the Ergonomic Dual Screen Split Keyboard Notebook Portable Personal Computer Executive and that’s pretty much how I feel about it; a mouthful, an eyeful, a complete strange phenomenon to me.

This Ergonomic Dual Screen Split Keyboard Notebook Portable Personal Computer Executive reminds me of a Nokia cellphone I once owned, and promptly discarded to my father, who happened to enjoy it more than I could ever have. The only difference here, of course, is that the Nokia cellphone was much easier on the eye.

There is no accounting for taste, but I can’t imagine many people will be rushing out to buy a laptop in this design … yet!
I think after some tweaking, perhaps, the overall use and functionality might shine through.

The question we need to ask ourselves is, “is it practical?”

I know from personal experience that I require two screens for all my graphics programs or I tend to feel a little “claustrophobic” … but the thought of parting my keyboard in two, to reveal a secret hidden screen seems rather mystical and impractical.

For one, If you’re anything like me, and live on your PC, then you’ll know about the tedious work it requires to clean the crumbs and chips from your keyboard! I’m not a messy eater by any means, crumbs just happen to be a part of life, and cleaning them from your keyboard, another.

There have also been the occasional drops of tea that I quickly swipe off with my trusty cloth, but the thought of continually cleaning my “desktop level screen” scares me somewhat; as does the impending “crick”in my neck I can only begin to imagine will be a lovely side-effect from the up and down ping-pong action of my head.

Apparently, according to reports, this concept will be available to OEM’s in the latter half of ‘08. I can only hope that they work on a better design (with the average consumer in mind).
