Expanscape has revealed a new laptop which features 7 screens. The company has taken the idea of using a mobile workstation and attaching an external monitor to a whole new level. The new laptop, called the Expanscape Aurora 7 has a total of 7 screens and it is currently in a prototype phase.
In the Aurora 7, four of the screens feature a 17.3″ screen size and a 4K resolution, while the remaining three screens feature a 1920 x 1200 resolution. The prototype features a bulky design, bulky on both the keyboard and screen parts. This extra bulk on the laptop enables the high-end components to be cooled efficiently and for the multiple screens to be easily deployed.
The Expanscape Aurora 7 laptop features seven displays in total, with four displays featuring a 4K resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate and the three remaining displays featuring a 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 60 Hz refresh rate. The Aurora 7 laptop weighs about 26 pounds but is designed to be a perfect option as a work from home option.
The Aurora 7 laptop can be equipped with either an AMD Ryzen 9 3950x or an Intel Core i9-10900k processor. Either of these processors can be paired with up to 128 GB DDR4 RAM and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card. This laptop offers two M.2 drive bays and two 2.5″ bays, allowing for up to 8 TB of speedy storage.
The Aurora 7 laptop features two internal batteries having a total of 230 Wh, and under normal workloads, this laptop can operate for two hours and twenty minutes. It uses a secondary 148Wh battery just to power its additional displays, and that’s over the FAA’s legal limit to fly in a plane. Expanscape says it’s working to remedy this in future prototypes.
Currently, this laptop is only a prototype but Expanscape says that if someone is interested in buying one, they can reach out to them.
