Xebec Wants to Boost Laptop Display Space

What They Say

Jon Peddie pointed me to a new notebook display add-on, the Xebec Tri-Screen 2 which provides dual slide-out 10.1″ 1920 x 1200 IPS LCDs behind the main display. The display weighs 2lbs (900 gms) and is about 1″ deep (25mm) and the displays take 10W (5V @ 2A) each which can be supplied by the host PC. The display system costs $449 on a holiday sale deal, currently, down from $499.

What We Think

Jon likes the idea of this display, but I have to say I’m not attracted to it. It seems bulky, I would want something bigger than 10.1″, the power consumption would be a pain when running on battery and I really wouldn’t want to carry the extra weight of this kind of system. On the other hand, when there is a nice big roll out OLED from each side, you might be able to count me in! (BR)
