Expanscape gives productivity a boost with 7-screen Aurora laptop

We've seen a number of laptops sprouting extra screens over the years, including the SpaceBook, Duo and something from Razer, but Expanscape out-displays them all with the Aurora 7, a monster of a mobile workstation that puts seven screens in front of the user.
When one, two or even three laptop screens are just not enoughExpanscape
화면 7개 갖춘 노트북 나왔다…”멀티태스킹 끝판왕”
영국 익스펜스케이프(Expanscape)가 디스플레이를 7개나 갖춘 노트북 시제품을 공개했다고 더버지 등 외신들이 8일(현지시간) 보도했다.
'오로라7(Aurora 7)'로 불리는 이 노트북은 메인 디스플레이 외에도 6개의 디스플레이를 더 추가했다. 이 제품에는 17.3인치 4K 디스플레이 4개에 왼쪽과 오른쪽 위에 7인치 1920x1200 모니터 2개가 있고 손목 받침대에도 7인치 1200픽셀 터치 스크린 디스플레를 하나 더 갖췄다.
노트북의 무게는 약 11.7kg이고 두께는 10.9cm다. CPU는 인텔 코어 i9-9900K 프로세서, 시스템 메모리는 64GB 램, 그래픽 카드는 엔비디아 지포스 GTX 1060가 탑재됐다.
회사 측은 향후 버전에서 AMD 라이젠9 3950x 프로세서 또는 인텔의 i9-10900K 옵션과 함께 엔비디아 RTX 2070을 탑재해 선보일 계획이라고 밝혔다.

The A7 is being designed for content creators, data scientists and developers who need lots of display real estate all in the same place at the same time. Very much at the prototype stage of development, the current version boasts four 17.3-inch 4K UHD panels and three 7-inch displays at 1,920 x 1,200 resolution.
Under the hood of the laptop running the show is an Intel i9 9900K 8-core processor, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GTX 1060 series graphics, and 2.5 TB of SSD and 2 TB of HDD storage. The aim is to get the system to support up to 128 GB of RAM and over 16 TB of SSD storage.
There are wireless network adapters for 802.11ac Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth 4.2 module, three USB ports and one Thunderbolt port, HDMI, integrated stereo speakers, and a built-in subwoofer, a 2-MB webcam and a 104-key backlit keyboard.
The idea is to have everything powered by internal batteries, though current per charge battery life is reported to be just one hour or lessExpanscape
Running a laptop and all those screens will take quite a bit of portable juice, and the current configuration has two internal batteries – the primary 82-Wh battery runs the laptop itself, and a 148-Wh pack powers the displays. Battery life for laptop and screens is currently up to an hour per charge.
All of the screens fold or swivel out from the primary chassis, and the whole thing folds down to 51 x 34 x 11 cm (20 x 13.3 x 4.3 in) for transport. The eventual aim is to get the system down to a maximum weight of 10 kg (22 lb), and the developers are also looking at making it possible to swap out components with relative ease, including the battery.
The design team appears to have been working on a third prototype for a few months now, with 16 core AMD and 10 core Intel i9 processor options already penciled in, together with RTX graphics, more memory and more storage. Most of the specs are still to be confirmed but the UK company is taking the unusual step of making the A7 M3 prototype available for purchase under contract, details can be found on the Expanscape website.
