According to the specs, this 12KG laptop gets 28 minutes at full power on batteries >_ And it's not allowed on airplanes..
Seriously? 12 kilos? That's heavier than an Osborne 1 [0], and that was considered a luggable computer rather than a laptop per se . --- [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1

> And it's not allowed on airplanes Is the battery limit just for carry-on or for checked too? Could you just check this in?
The limit is much tighter for checked-in luggage. You are supposed to carry the batteries with you. This is due to fire safety.

Our prototypes are definitely geared towards day traders. We have had a lot of feedback from individuals in the finance industry and as such we are refining our prototypes accordingly.
Wait, you mean this is a real product? I took it for performance art or a very-well-done joke...

I seem to remember about 10 years ago or so, when that kind of tiny 7-10" laptop was briefly popular. I don't know exactly how the marketing went, but I imagine it was positioned as "your on the go device for when your phone isn't enough." Or, maybe it was kind of like a "super PDA." Who knows? I hated them. Never bought one.
Even I have a very lightweight 13" notebook, I searched something smaller and bought a 10" from Lenovo (with "just enough power for the moment"). It was the smallest I could find around here. I would liked even something more small, but couldn't find something around here sadly. Before 2000 I used an Psion 5. I was a cool thing.
What's the target market / clients usage ?
This is the best realization of the 80s Anime supertech I've ever seen. I remember a 3 screen system I saw one time from...I want to say HP, but this totally beats it.
There was a Razer prototype with 3 screens [1] and another that comes to mind is the two screened Thinkpad w700ds [1] https://www2.razer.com/project-valerie
This put a smile on my face today. Thanks for making it, hn_expanscape. Is it possible to show a video of this opening up/closing? Curious how it's done.
This is why we need VR to get higher resolution
Wow that thing is ridiculous. I wonder what kind of power draw it takes under use. Probably over 100W!
