As notebook computers get more powerful and work gets more mobile, more of us have to use our notebooks to do serious work. But notebooks still fall far short of the experience you get in a really good desktop computer. I don’t mean in processor speed, but in I/O.

The best notebook still has a limited keyboard and a single screen. At the office I use triple monitors and my keyboard has a numeric keypad, plus I use the notebook for a fourth monitor. When I’m traveling, like now, working with the notebook is pretty frustrating.

I’d like to see a notebook with a double screen. The second screen could fold out from the existing screen (think like a trifold wallet) with a swivel hinge (such as on some tablet notebooks) if you only wanted to use one monitor. The numeric keypad should be easy enough to add to the palmrest, turn it off when not using and its just a palmrest again.

Any notebook designs or features you'd like to see, which aren't out there?
