Dual 7in Win7? Yes, that might work...
...if the price (and battery life) is right. Pen support would be nice, too; it might drive up the price a bit but make it more useful. Good to see the PC companies finally starting to experiment again. |

Looks like Courier done wrong. Oh well, high-fives for effort.

Well, 2 hours is pretty limited....4 or 6 would be better 8-10 great!
Maybe if they just eliminate Flash it would double the run time. |

I like it, aside from the battery life.

It's a "netbook", no quotes needed, kennyc.
That's exactly what this device would be called. :P |

The quotes are because I don't believe it's any of the above necessarily. and they are actually talking about three different machines. |

This device seems pretty neat actually.
I'm actually glad there are more dual screen devices coming out, because I think it could work if done right. 2 screens are better than 1, but only if they make it compact and light enough to justify. 2 hours on a full charge however...that is totally unacceptable. Especially for a portable device where you may not be able to recharge for days. |
