ABC Melbourne Drive: two screens

How many screens is too much on a desk, and does your laptop need more than one? As a new laptop offers more than one, it’s a question worth asking.

How many screens is too much on a desk, and does your laptop need more than one? As a new laptop offers more than one, it’s a question worth asking.

You’ve heard the phrase “less is more”, but it’s something that doesn’t always work in technology. Sometimes “more is more”, and when you’re talking about computer screens, that could very well be the case.

With the launch of a laptop that comes with two screens built in, anyone looking for a desktop experience they can take with them can now get their way. So are there any obvious catches?

This week on ABC Melbourne Drive, we’ll jump into how many screens matters, and also talk about whether your car is listening to your conversations or whether it’s your phone. Plus we’ll answer questions about technology, including which iPhone is worth picking if you’re upgrading from an iPhone SE.

Hear all about it on ABC Melbourne Drive with Charlie Pickering from the June 2 programme, kicking off from the 1 hour 36 minute mark (1.36.15 to be exact).
