This looks like a promising candidate:
Lenovo to release ThinkPad laptop with 2 LCD screens
The ThinkPad W700ds appears to be the first laptop ever to sport two LCD screens -- a 17-in. primary and a 10.6-in. secondary screen.
The souped-up "mobile workstation," as Lenovo calls it, also comes with customers' choice of quad-core Intel Core 2 processors and Nvidia Quadro mobile graphics CPU with as many as 128 cores. It also comes with as much as 8GB of DDR3 memory and a pair of hard drive/solid-state drive bays for up to 960GB of storage.
The W700ds is expected to be available in January starting at $3,600.
Perhaps by next summer there will be even more competitive choices.
