Intel used its developer forum (IDF) in San Francisco this week to show off a prototype of a laptop with a main screen and a series of three smaller ones along the keyboard.
Codenamed Tangent Bay, the three along the top of the keyboard are OLED touchscreens, and can be flipped through like a slideshow.
They can be used to display photos or even application windows, by dropping them into the slots from the main screen.
For those who like multi-tasking, the windows can then be flipped back to the main LCD screen with a single touch.
As cool as the Tangent Bay laptop appears, Intel gave no timeline for when it might go mainstream or be created by a manufacturer.
"These are great ideas, I do hope that they evenutally end up in the market," said Dadi Perlmutter, executive vice president of the Intel architecture group.
