Acer have announced the launch, in January 2011, of the Iconia, a new dual-screen laptop with two 14in displays, including one in place of a traditional keyboard.
The Iconia features two touch-screens protected by ultra-tough Gorilla Glass and it can be used like a traditional laptop, with the second screen doubling as a virtual keyboard, or can double as a tablet-style computer.
The desktop can be spread across both screens if so desired and the device features palm sensors to detect the position of the user’s hands and automatically launch the virtual keyboard when needed.
The Iconia, goes on sale in the UK on January 8th and will cost a healthy £1,499. It uses Intel Core i5 processors and has a minimum of 4GB memory and up to 750GB hard drive.
