Dual Display Tablet Netbook – PREZENTER – But not useful enough!

We have mentioned about the dual display notebooks too like the Lenovo Thinkpad W700ds notebook. But this Dual display tablet netbook, Prezenter is something new and well, weird at the same time.

The Main display or the larger one is 14-inch in size and the smaller display is 7-inch in size. It is available in black or white color.

Here is a quick glance at its specs:

• Intel Atom Z520 processor @ 1.33GHz
• 80GB HDD
• 1GB RAM
• LAN
• Wi-Fi (draft-N)
• Windows XP

Its mainly targeted for the business market and will go on sale in North America, Japan and Korea starting in the month of September. Nothing can be commented on the prices.

We just cannot understand one thing about its design. If the display is at the back and thus, cannot be viewed at the same time, what is the point of having a secondary display on the same computer? Good concept, but gone ludicrously wrong!

Note: You can also get one with slightly more powerful Atom Z530 or Z540 processor or/and opt-in for a larger capacity HDD or SSD.

Atom Z Processor to be MID only – Intel says Z-series not for netbooks

Now that’s shocking! Will this be the end of netbooks with Atom Z processors? Rumors says that now Intel won’t be accepting any more orders for Atom Z processors from netbook makers in coming time and may be by the end of this year (2009). They want to set a clear boundary between Atom N processors for netbooks and have the Z series specifically for the MID market. Since the Acer, ASUS and MSI have already placed their Z-series processors order to the Intel, they will still be getting their Atom Z processors.

One can wonder if this could affect netbooks and mini-notebooks that ship with Windows Vista or the ones with 11.6-inch display.
