*Wait a minute – what? What a weird innovation.
It's like a penny-farthing bicycle.

"In addition to its multitouch-capable tablets, Asus also showed off a prototype of a strange, two-brained computer with a secondary, 4.3-inch display embedded just below the keyboard.
"In this prototype (no actual product is planned yet, Asus says), (((vaporware Design Fiction, I might have known))) the mini display is also the computer's touchpad. And it has its own processor, which you can use without booting up the main computer – so you can listen to music, check your calendar or check your email, all from this tiny, parasitic iPhone-like display embedded in the base of your notebook. The advantage that offers is that it will be instantly on (no boot time required) and it won't use much power."
