Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard are messing about with laptop forms in some rather interesting new ways. The former's ThinkPad W700ds (pictured above left) has a 17-inch display--and a 10.5-inch fold-out screen, perfect for palettes. The latter's Firefly (above right) also has a 17-inch screen, and a small 4.3-inch display buried right underneath it.
Neither of these machines are light--the ThinkPad weighs in at 11 pounds, while the Firefly tips the scales at 13 pounds. But a key difference is that the Lenovo is real (due for release this month) while the HP is just a concept.

This is what I expected from the last Apple launch, alas no. The mighty Macbook Air was unveiled... with no dvd drive... winner... sigh
This is what accessory makers are for. I recently read about two separate companies who are now manufacturing small external screens for laptop users. They should both work with Mac and Windows computers. Here's a Gizmodo review of one:
