Laptop with seven screens assembled
Expanscape has developed the world's first seven-screen laptop. Previously, a three-screen 17.3-inch 4K G-Sync compatible monitors that automatically expand the central display and angle themselves toward the user was developed by Razer's.
But with a big enhancement, Aurora 7 Prototype, more than doubles the number of screens found in Razer's laptop and setting the benchmark to seven. The laptop incorporates four 17.3-inch displays—two in landscape, two in portrait—and three 7-inch 1920 x 1200 screens.
All of the screens which fold out from the device itself not bothering the users to fiddle with external connections. The machine also comes with a mini display that shows system status information and user-configurable matter.
Expanscape, the manufacturer of the workstation stated that the Aurora 7 is developed for DevSecOps, security operations, data scientists, and content creators.
On the negative side, Aurora 7 requires a lot of power to function all screens. It comes from the two internal batteries: the main 82Wh battery is for the system, while the 148Wh secondary battery keeps the screens going. As per the compnay's claim the batteries won't keep the laptop alive for very long and can power the setup for about 2 hours 20 minutes or even less is its clock speeds are kept high.
Expanscape says it will be trading the prototypes of this machine after they have finished the manufacturing. However the company didn't revealed the price but this is made sure that a seven-screen laptop isn't going to be low-priced.
