Dual touchscreen PC shown off by Asus at CeBIT 2009

It doesn’t look like Asus will be launching new netbooks at CeBIT 2009, but they do have some pretty interesting things on display. On top of these things is the dual touchscreen notebook that you see pictured above. Currently, this device is more like a concept, as the unit displayed at CeBIT isn’t exactly a full working prototype, but it does look quite functional, and with the on-screen virtual keyboard it seems practical. It runs on Microsoft’s Windows 7 OS, and has a few apps lying on the desktop. No word on when this type of device will be released in retail, though, but you can expect that it’s going to take a while before that happens.

    dear sirs: many believe this is nothing but a flash in the pan. i believe it’s the future of computing. add a couple sd card slots and wifi, bluetooth and “tethering” and you have a “netbook” or notebook. that everyone could use.. good work. please keep at it.

  • Hello

    “Don't Touch!!” – the new touch screen! ;-)

    Oh come on. Give me a break. It's cute. It looks pretty. It'll disappear as people realise that keyboards are a good thing (tactile feedback and the like). It'd be like driving your car with a joystick….

    If this is the future of computing (and ever becomes the present of computing because let's face it, loads of things become the future of computing till they're not), I'll buy a hat, and eat it.

    Other types of computer memory include the ROM or Read Only Memory. ROM
    is an integrated circuit already programmed with specific data that
    cannot be modified or changed, hence the name “Read Only”. There is also
    another type of computer memory called Virtual Memory. This type of
    memory is a common component in most operating systems and desktops

    It helps the computers RAM to be freed up with unused applications to
    make way for loading current applications being used. It works simply by
    checking for data stored in RAM not being used recently and have it
    stored in the computer’s hard disk, thereby freeing valuable space in
    RAM for loading other applications. A virtual memory will make a
    computer think that it has almost unlimited RAM inside it.
