Once you've rocked out with dual screens on your desktop, you'll wonder how you ever managed to do anything with but a single display. If you find yourself in that category, you should probably stop reading, lest you suddenly feel hobbled by your notebook.
Coming soon, Alaska-based gScreen will release a dual 15.4-inch screen laptop dubbed the Spacebook. Aimed at professional designers, gScreen also has dual 16-inch and 17-inch models on tap, all of which sport full sized screens for the secondary display.
"We designed this knowing that many may not need the extra screen at all times," company founder Gordon Stewart told Gizmodo.
To address this, the secondary display will feature a sliding mechanism so you can tuck it away when not in use. Of course, the obvious downsides to having a twin-display notebook are weight (think 12 pounds or more) and battery life, so it will be interesting to see how gScreen tackles these potential roadblocks.
Stewart says he's trying to keep the price under $3,000 and hopes to have the Spacebook for sale through Amazon.com by December of this year.

i don't care about Crysis, not in this case. But Sins was designed for duel monitors (unless im confousing my RTSes) so i want to know if Sins will beable to use both monitors like a desktop. Or Final Cut Pro/Avid for that matter.
or is it just treated as one reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly long single pane.

I play Sins of a Solar Empire on an Asus Eeepc 900HA. It runs quite well. I can see well in the main screen, but with the 600pixel vertical resolution, I cannot see the bottom of the menus. Thank goodness for tab navigation and a good memory.
