Lenovo to show dual-screen laptop at CES

Usually if you want to have a dual-screen display, you need to buy a second screen, hook it up and try to get both screens up and running. It tends to be a bit of a pain if you haven’t done it before. However, for some people, having two screens is the only way to do everything they want to with a computer. At CES Lenovo will make it much easier for those who want two screens, especially if you want to bring both screen with you wherever you go.

At CES Lenovo will show off its upcoming ThinkPad W700ds, which features a 17 inch display, as well as a second, 10.6 inch screen. The second screen pops out of the primary screen via a spring-loaded “pocket door.” The second screen has a resolution of 768×1280, which is fairly impressive for a secondary screen, especially considering it would have been much easier to just shove in an S10 netbook screen. Other specs include an Intel Core 2 Extreme or Core 2 Quad, up to a ridiculous 8 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M.

Removable hard drives are great, allowing you to take loads of files from one place to another, easily and efficiently with a reduced chance of you losing anything. However they do have a few flaws: they are easily stolen, and easily hacked.

So, what can a manufacturer do? Well they can’t stop you losing it (although coloring them something other than black, gray and silver might help) but they can make them more secure and that is what Levono have done with their new product: the Vault. As its name suggests, it is not about storage (although it does have 160GB/320GB) or about looks, it is about security.
