Innovative multiple display with multiple input devices  |  April 28, 2009  

I'm one of those people who can never have enough display space (it's been found that adding an extra monitor can boost knowledge worker productivity by 20 percent to 30 percent); I have had a tablet PC since Microsoft's first Beta with Acer. So, when I saw this article about a HP PC prototype called Papyrus, I had to find out more.

"The Papyrus concept is at its core, a notebook-like device that allows stylus input in addition to providing a secondary display. This may be achieved by replacing the track-pad in a traditional notebook with a touch screen display. The touch-screen not only works as a touch-pad, it also provides a surface that users can use to write or draw, and acts as a secondary display."

Although I am sure it adds some weight to the device, the increased capabilities may be worth it, since it seems like I'm always working on multiple tasks at one time. Anything that helps me keep track of what's going on is useful.
