The oddly-named 'Tangent Bay' has three miniature touchscreens set horizontally into the case below the main, full-sized panel. It is a fully functional prototype: delegates were able to scroll photos around the touchscreens by swiping with a finger. The idea smacked a little too much of the ill-fated Vista SideShow." Seems strange that they would put the screens above the keyboard. I think embedding an iPhone type touchscreen in place of the trackpad would be a far more useful thing.

feel free to eventually accost your IT guys with this laptop, and brag about its advanced capabilities compared to their single screen dinosaurs. After all, more screens means more smarter and productive.

Do they have fingerprint protection at least?
Yeah, right? One thing that drives me crazy is when people touch my screen. Usually it's an accident, but I still have to clean it off. No worries; spilled milk.
Come to think of it, for me a touch screen interface makes about as much sense as a milk-based drink that you serve by pouring on the floor.

Been there [wikipedia.org]. Done that [wikipedia.org]. Minimalism is all the rave nowadays, like doing away with the freaking fuselage [wikipedia.org].

Gillette - Because it's not a close enough shave if you don't need a blood transfusion afterwards.
