Aurora 7 Prototype – 7 Screen Laptop

Yes it does. That's why "zero compromise" is usually a losing proposition, because there are often requirements that conflict with each other.

You can't have 7 screens, long battery life, and have it be light weight. That would be zero compromises.

It's basically the old adage: Fast, cheap, good - pick two.

They've sacrificed any kind of portability for more screens.

Believe it or not there are alternatives to our Aurora 7 prototype but those are too large to fit in standard backpack. They usually consist of monitors bolted on to a standard desktop chassis and don't feature integrated batteries. The Aurora 7 folds down then fits into a backpack.

Believe it or not, a 25 pound laptop you can't bring on an airplane isn't what anyone would call portable.

If that's portable, then so is any number of small PCs that could fit in a backpack.

I don’t get the outrage, a small 7L PC could weigh 25 pounds and is very portable.

You might be thinking ultra-portable.

Outrage or general non-acceptance of claim.
