Apple triBook Tri-Screen MacBook Concept [The MacBook of the Future?]

The Internet is abuzz with the latest supposed offering from Apple; however a search for the product on the Apple website did not yield any results. The product in question is the Apple triBook. The Apple triBook aims to resolve the issue of screen space that traditionally is a bugbear for most users of notebooks. The triBook comes with two additional side screens in additional to the main screen; thus increasing the total screen space to 21″.

The two folding screens are intended to offer users more options to multi-task. However prima facie evidence, as gathered from reading other reports online, suggests that it is gamers who have responded most cheerfully to this news. The Apple triBook is set to hit the markets in 2009 though there is no concrete word on its pricing from Apple.

The triBook is about 6.75 inches tall, 10 inches wide, and about an inch deep. It is easily portable. When closed the two side screens fold in and rest between the main screen and the keyboard. When open, the two side screens need not be pushed back to be in a straight line with the main screen, they can stay opened at an angle and protect your content’s privacy. The three screens enhance the functionality of this notebook and you can achieve a lot more on this than you would on a single-screen notebook.

The triBook is fitted with a high caliber CPU, an 8x SuperDrive and a number of I/O connectors. If the concept takes off, the 3 screens could well become a standard for laptops.
