Two-screen Laptop

Proposed is a laptop computer with two hinges. A main hinge as seen in the prior art would separate a lower keyboard from an upper display assembly. A second hinge, on one side of the display assembly, would unfold to reveal two screens. A forward-looking screen would function as the primary display as in the prior art, and a side- mounted secondary display would provide extra screen space in high-end laptops intended to replace workstations. This hinge could fold from the rear forward, allowing the laptop to be used in single-screen mode. (A switch in the hinge would prevent others from seeing the second screen while in this mode of operation.) Another embodiment would be for the screen to fold from the front rearward. This would prevent the use of single-screen mode, but it would be significantly more durable.
