Intel has shown off a laptop that links four screens together.
Codenamed Tangent Bay, the prototype integrates three OLED touchscreens above the keyboard, which can be used to control the computer and display media.
The chip giant's demo has the notebook with the extra displays shuffling through music and editing a playlist on the screens. Three lower screens are used to control the main screen and flip video between the screens.
The technology Intel demonstrated can contract, zoom, scroll and pan content from one screen to another.
Multi-screens for laptops are attracting a fair bit of interest at the moment. Most of the ideas seem to be based on two screens. The big idea is that people on the move can do more with their media if they have more than one screen with which to do it.
This version is a bit extreme. The left-most OLED screen looks like it contains shortcuts to often-used programs and other handy links.
