MSI has demonstrated a few prototype computers at CES 2010 so far, including two new dual-screen netbooks – a strange category we've seen a few times before that hasn't really been explored in the netbook arena.
The new MSI dual-screen netbooks have touchscreen LCDs, but won't be used in the manner of the Kohjinsha DZ. Instead, the screens are hinged notebook-style – you can use one as a touchscreen keyboard while operating the other as a laptop display, or you can turn the whole thing on its side and use it like an e-reader
The prototype dual-screen machines come in 10-inch and 7-inch varieties. The netbooks run Intel Menlow CPUs and Windows 7, allowing for 32 GB or 64 GB of solid-state storage.
If they're ever officially launched, MSI has stated that they will be more expensive than traditional netbooks, though that's what we expected. MSI also showed off a traditional 10-inch ebook reader at CEs 2010, running Google Android and the Nvidia Tegra.
