gScreen dual-display laptop still coming, but with 17-inch panels

Alaska-based gScreen Computer may have missed the mark with its 15.4-inch dual-screen laptop, but it's not giving up on its dreams and so it is now preparing the introduction of the SpaceBook 17, a notebook featuring two 17.3-inch LED-backlit displays.

Offering significantly more viewing area than the initially-planned 15.4-inch model, the SpaceBook 17 is powered by a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7-620M processor and includes 4GB of RAM, a 250GB to 500GB (7200 RPM) hard drive, a GeForce GTS 150M 1GB graphics card, and a DVD writer.

gScreen's machine also packs a 6-in-1 card reader, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, Gigabit Ethernet and a 9-cell battery. All this is backed by Windows 7 Professional and is expected to start shipping in May.
