Razer peripherals specialist has shown at CES is an interesting concept for a game with two displays netbooks. The heart must be a previously unknown Atom processor and an integrated graphics core.

An actual list of companies currently have saved. Clearly, however, that amount to the size of the unit 172 x 115 x 25 mm to. Like the Toshiba Libretto, it has two displays. After opening Desktop, pictures and games on a normal LCD monitor are shown, as we know it in notebooks. The physical keyboard is replaced by a touch-screen display on which the keys are displayed.
