Aurora with screens unveiled1/7/2023 Not only would client site productivity increase, it's a great marketing tool. My desk is my most productive area, but I often have to work in a conference room or on a client site. I wouldn't go with that precise model, but something with fold out screens, if done well, would be a godsend. I am having to switch window focus every 2 seconds, approximately, so the resizing and rearranging adds up.įor this laptop? Yeah, it looks fugly and poorly made. ![]() I have to take time to either very precisely position the cursor, like in magnet, or resize them with a mouse, which is tedious and distracting. I never really mastered using a large screen to mange 4 or 5 windows all visible at the same time. It's OK, but you have to be very precise when switching windows. I have tried large screens and many screens before and have personally found that many screens just work better than one large in Win 10, MacOS, and Desktop Linux. I have another tab for the actual application. I have a browser window open with the JIRA ticket for the requirements. I have a shell window for the application server. I have a DB tool if I am dealing with a database for that task. You have an IDE where you do your main work. If you write code, especially full stack development, there's really no such thing as too many screens. No word on pricing or when it starts shipping. ![]() The laptop has a battery life of one hour. But the star of the show is the complicated mosaic of screens which includes four 17.3-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) LCDs - two in portrait mode and two in landscape - as well as three smaller 7-inch screens all pushing 1920 x 1200 pixels, with one located in the laptop's wrist rest. Powered by an Intel i9 9900K processor backed by 64GB of DDR4 RAM and an NVIDIA GTX 1060 series graphics card, the Aurora 7 also comes with 2TB of hard drive storage and an additional 2.5 TB of SSD storage, plus all the ports you could ever need to expand its capacity even further. Created by a UK company called Expanscape, the Aurora 7 is very much just a prototype at this stage in the game (as is evident by the extensive use of 3D-printed parts), but it's designed to be true mobile workstation for everyone from developers to content creators to even well-funded gamers wanting a more immersive experience from a computer they don't have to leave at home. It's a mobile transforming workstation for those who need more screen real estate than they have room for monitors. But with seven foldout screens, there's little chance anyone could actually use this beast on their laps. Gizmodo reports: The Aurora 7 laptop seems lifted straight from the imagination of a Hollywood prop builder working on a bad hacker flick. If your job requires seven screens, a UK firm now has you covered. ![]() Sometimes even two doesn't get the job done, and you need three. Sometimes one screen isn't enough and you need two.
