- This laptop folds in a large form, heavier than most traditional notebooks
- The specifications remain mid -range with 12th generation Intel processors and DDR4 memory
- The announcements claim the external support of the GPU, but the real feasibility remains questionable
Manufacturers of laptops have long experienced additional screens, generally through detachable monitors or double -screen devices.
Now, a Chinese manufacturer offers a more unusual socket: a triple screen notebook that combines a 16 -inch primary panel with two 10.5 -inch unfolding screens.
The idea is to provide an office -shaped workspace in a portable format, although questions remain on the practical aspect and the quality of construction.
Screen design and configuration
At first glance, the nameless Chinese system presented here resembles external monitor kits that attach to existing laptops, but with integrated side panels.
Each secondary display is connected with hinges and folds on the main panel when closed.
This design makes the device larger than standard notebooks, and it measures 374 x 261 x 28 mm, weighing approximately 2.6 kilograms.
Although it is heavy, it is even more compact than transporting a laptop and two distinct portable screens.
In use, the three screens combine to provide the equivalent of a 29.5 inch diagonal configuration, offering sufficient space for a commercial laptop, although thick glasses interrupt continuity.
The notebook is propelled by the Intel Core P-Series processors of 12th generation, with options including the Core i7-1260p and the i7-1270p slightly faster.
Memory is upgraded up to 64 GB via two Sodimm locations, and there is support for PCIE 4.0 storage via a single location M.2 2280.
The system includes a 77Wh battery, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint sensor, a 1MP webcam, stereo speakers and an assortment of ports ranging from USB type-A and type-C to HDMI and Ethernet Gigabit.
For this device, some announcements describe the management of external graphics cards, but the lack of oculink, Thunderbolt or USB4 raises doubts about feasibility.
The use of an adapter via the M.2 location alone could work in theory, but this would also require a reception station with a space for storage.
Realisticly, this feature looks more like a theoretical possibility than a practical option.
Product pages are also in conflict on details such as Wi-Fi standards and USB port specifications, suggesting inconsistencies in marketing equipment.
Prices start about $ 700 for the basic version, but can reach around $ 1,200 for the Core i7-1270p model.
The starting price may seem in mid-plage, but for a laptop with three integrated screens, it can reasonably be described as a budgetary laptop.
That said, the purchase of this device will be a bet because on Aliexpress, the name of the device is not indicated, and the destination page says that it is a “new laptop for triple screen” sold by YCX & GPD laptop.
I would like one of these laptops without any expectations, motivated only by curiosity to see if it really works.
