Anchorage, Alaska-based gScreen has formally detailed the launch for the Spacebook 17, a laptop that sports two 17-inch HD backlit LCD screens. When closed, the two rest sit behind each other. When the laptop is opened, they slide out and sit beside each other to provide a much wider display.
Small Alaskan company gScreen has began offering pre-orders for its dual-screen 17.3-inch notebook known as the SpaceBook. Introduced over a year ago, the notebook has two 1920x1080-resolution displays that slide out horizontally. Available in two configurations, it weighs at least 10lbs and is not meant to be easily portable.
GScreen has returned with a dual-display notebook it calls Spacebook. Versus the last model shown, that sported dual 15.4-inch screens, the new model is desktop replacement class with 17.3-inch displays. The screens are also LED-backlit, and the new notebook sports otherwise modern specs such as the inclusion of a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB of RAM and a 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTS 150M GPU to drive both displays simultaneously.
