Also they were mainly trying to manufacture it for people who need to monitor things on two screens (i.e. programmers) and need mobility? lol.
Yeah I'm not even going to try to argue their point anymore with $3,000 you could get yourself a nice desktop with two+ monitors and a cheap laptop for mobility. Still think it's pretty cool, but I doubt many people will go for it.

True, but for a Great laptop for programming (About 1500 max. I mean, it's programming, not graphic design) + Samsung's USB Powered screens (About 300 bucks) what kind of retard wants a built in dual screen? Ok Ok Ok. Let's toss in another 200 bucks to make an even 2 grand and say you make a custom rack to put the samsung screen on it.

2 Examples of how 2 screens is useful:
A Programmer has one screen for code or debugger and the other for documentation or the running program.
Office worker with one screen taken up by outlook, the other with all the other work related things (I hear this is a common way to do it, with a smaller 2nd monitor for outlook).
You have to not look at it as using both at once, but having it be easier than alt tabbing to something else to see what is going on. you could have itunes/zune and outlook and a chat program all on that second monitor, leaving your main screen for what you are working on or whatever game/anime you are playing/watching. Email comes in, you can glance to see what it is while the anime still plays.

I'm guessing that thing is targeted at mobile professionals, not students or casual nerds. Sure looks nice.
FAKE EDIT: Yep.

I don't remember a portable for either of those. I remember them advertising the psone with a seperate screen for travelling, but that was nowhere near as stupid as an xbox and screen for portability 0_o
