2 Displays, 1 Laptop
2 Displays, side by side
Why this rocks
We don’t have to explain why having 2 displays is better than one, do we? Just thinking of all the posibilities; On one screen you surf facebook, while on the other you can have useful stuff, like reddit. No seriously, two screens come in really handy when you want to write a report while you copy all facts from Wikipedia. Or when you want to write an email & don’t stop watching youtube videos.
Almost every tech company (Google, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft) gives their employees two monitors, because you just can get so much more work done. Now you can have two displays in one Laptop.
This is great!
Why you won’t buy one
Yeah, as it turns out, this is not so great after all.
Having two displays makes your laptop really heavy. Also the quality of the picture is not as good, because you need a powerful video card (and this takes more space & money).
Next 2 displays will suck your battery empty with twice the speed.
And for those who still want one, here are the prices

Why this rocks
Why do we need a Keyboard, Touchpad? Seriously why? Every one knows you can use an iPhone and iPad to write a very long and detailed email to your boss on a Saturday at 3am although you are extremely intoxicated.
Not only can you “drunk-mail”, also for all the space saved, they just can make the monitor bigger. “Amazing! Magical, Awesome!” to quote Steve Jobs. An iPad you can fold is the coolest thing since, the iPad!
Why you won’t buy one
First reason; Apple doesn’t make one.
Second reason; Not having a keyboard kind of hurts your fingers, especially when you type a lot. This is only a problem when you are not drunk enough to actually feel your fingers.
Then there is the whole battery, video power issue like with the two displays before.
But the main reason is: You can’t get one.

Two screens in one = 3D Displays
Why this rocks
Have you ever been to a 3D movie?
Yes?
Not convinced yet?
You can have the same experience as in a 3D movie with your films, video games, even pictures on your laptop.
Also the biggest industry on the web (adult entertainment) is producing content for 3D monitors. We don’t think there is anything more to add…
Why you shouldn’t buy one (but still might)
We rightfully assume that no one cared about 3D displays up to the moment the porn industry decided to go 3D. They were the deciding factor in the VHS vs. Betamax wars (for those who don’t know what this means, read a history book, it was some when after the battle of Gettysburg )
The problem is not that you have to wear silly glasses, no, rather that 3D will harm your eyes. Also many experience headaches and even nausea from extended periods of watching 3D content.
Additionally, 3D is the same like having 2 displays in one, so it requires a very powerful (expensive) video card.
But at the end; Yes there is 3D porn, yes it is the future.
