So Linus uploaded a video regarding an Asus prototype with dual screens, with Asus saying it’s targetted for 2019, which seems to line up with the timelines for CoreOS and Andromeda.
<p>I don't see the appeal. Having an iPad in the past, I always wanted a real keyboard. It makes a difference to me. A touchscreen keyboard is far less accurate for me. If I hooked up a regular keyboard to it, then maybe…. but as with all my past tablet purchases, I always ended up buying a laptop just for the keyboard and touchpad. So while this may be cool, I don't see myself buying this .</p>
<p>I nearly bought one of those about 5 years ago… Acer had a notebook with a normal screen and a touch-screen keyboard, which could also be used for other display purposes. I think it was one of the first Windows 8 devices on the market. But I decided to go with something with a real keyboard, as I do a lot of typing.</p><p>If you are just watching videos, then using the onscreen keyboard on teh first screen makes sense. If you enter a lot of data, having a real keyboard makes sense.</p><p>For something like video editing, where you can reconfigure the input area to display the correct shortcuts, I could see it being useful – although it would be of more use on a powerful desktop…</p><p><br></p><p>Edit:</p><p>Acer ICONIA http://evogadgets.blogspot.com/2010/11/acer-iconia-dual-screen-tablet-notebook.html</p>
