APPLE

Company may have a laptop with five monitors

China's National Intellectual Property Office, according to Internet sources, declassified Apple's patent documentation on a curiously designed laptop.
This is a laptop equipped with five monitors at the same time. On the cover is a traditional large canvas. It will be complemented by four small touch displays located in the lower half of the case: two of them will be installed on the left and right of the keyboard, two others - on the sides of the touchpad.
The functionality of the additional monitors will vary depending on the application currently used and the tasks performed. On these screens, for example, pictograms can be displayed for executing macro commands, selecting editing tools, etc.



The proposed solution, in fact, is an additional development of the Touch Bar system on the MacBook Pro. This panel, located at the top of the laptop's keyboard, adapts to your needs and provides convenient shortcuts and application controls when you need them. For most applications, including third-party applications, there are shortcuts, tools and controls on the touch bar that allow you to perform certain tasks.
About when Apple could introduce a commercial portable computer with five monitors, nothing was reported.
