What is the notebook of tomorrow? A dual-panel touchscreen PC, says Asus.
The Taiwanese manufacturer this week is displaying prototypes of its concept notebook at CeBIT. Rather than equipping it with a physical keyboard, one of the two screens features on-screen software for a virtual keyboard.
Of course, touchscreens would enable the device to perform a variety of other tasks as well. Think handwriting recognition, multi-touch gestures and so on.
The company designed the notebook based on feedback collected from WePC, a community-based web site hosted by Asus and Intel, where computer users are invited to submit ideas for futuristic notebooks.
Looks promising, but don't expect to be able to buy one of these anytime soon since it's a concept device.
