Are dual-screen laptops the future of on-the-go systems?
The buzzword around every tech event so far in 2019 is dual-screen laptops. Originally, laptops were all about portability, meaning smaller displays and more compact keyboards. Brands went lighter and lighter in weight, forgoing ports to maximize compactness. As technology improved, brands are starting to fit more features back into small devices, delivering a more immersive experience for users.

A couple of years ago, Razer delighted gamers with Valerie, their triple display laptop. We’ve also seen extra large desktop displays catered to gamers, offering a more immersive experience.

Along with the go-big-or-go-home displays, brands introduced curved displays into their lineup, promising finer details, even more immersion, and the convenience of a single screen.

But, cumbersome systems and huge monitors alienate one major market: those who are always on the go. Dual-screen laptops are all about bringing maximum productivity to those who work just about everywhere.

What is a dual-screen laptop?

A dual-screen laptop is a laptop that has two screens built into the same unit. This can take on a variety of designs, as we’ve seen from many top brands. The most notable original design comes from ASUS in 2012. The Taichi Windows 8 notebook was ahead of its time; the back had a full HD touchscreen to compliment the main display.

Now, brands are doubling down on their double screens by applying even more applications to the secondary display.

Who should use a dual-screen laptop?

While early designs like the Razer Valerie are designed for gamers, dual-screen laptops have a much broader audience. They’re great tools for creatives, but also practical for any digital nomad, instructor, student, or professional. Your needs will dictate which dual-screen laptop is best for you; they all differ in size and functionality.

Which dual-screen laptops are currently available?

Here are all the big players in the dual-screen laptop game:

– Intel Honeycomb Glacier Hinged Dual-Screen Laptop

The Honeycomb Glacier is a hinged dual-screen laptop that is geared especially towards designers and creators. The laptop’s hinge lifts the 15.6-inch main display and props up the 12.3-inch secondary display, which is built into the keyboard tray, into a comfortable angle. The keyboard remains flat, for better productivity.
