"Its maker dubs it the 2-VU, but layout artists, illustrators and photographers will call it the mother of all portable computers."

“Twice as nice. The 2-VU Dual-Screen laptop is unlike any portable PC you’ve ever seen.”

“Mine’s a double,” wrote reporter Simon Duddy of the 2-VU.

“A cool version of a laptop computer that I saw at (Comdex Fall 2002) is the 2-VU Dual-Screen mobile laptop computer from Estari, Inc.,” wrote Dr. Larry Emmott in his column “Emmott on Technology.”
 

"Many desktop computer users are now turning to ever larger monitors, using the bigger screens to display more panels of information. Some workers even turn to using multiple monitors to display complex data. Now, a computer technology company in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, wants to break the visual barrier with portable computers. For the last four years, Estari Inc., has been working on a laptop that could be considered a true 'eye-catcher.'

Estari's 2-VU machine is similar to other conventional laptop machines. With a low-power Intel microprocessor, 30 gigabyte hard drive and 256 megabytes of memory, the 2-VU even runs standard computer software such as Microsoft's Windows XP or Windows 2000. But the real gem of the 2-VU is what it doesn't have. Instead of a keyboard, the 2-VU places a second LCD display screen in its place."

 

"Unlike most early electronic books, or tablets, the 2-VU allows users to view two full-page documents simultaneously. Users can page through two books at once, or take notes on one screen while paging through a book on the other. A full-scale touch-sensitive keyboard appears on either screen for traditional character entry."

"Not only are two heads better than one, but Estari hopes two screens are, too. By year's end, the document management software provided will ship a dual-screen notebook call 2-VU. It will have two 15-inch digital screens and run Windows XP and Estari document management apps. Users can now view two full-page documents simultaneously and write on one while reading the other."

"Digital document management solutions provider Estari Inc. has unveiled a new product line. The 2-VU product line will consist of an e-book, handheld, laptop and portable desktop models. The laptop model will feature two 15-inch screens that are intended to allow the user to read or work in the format of a traditional book."

Estari Inc., a leader in providing digital document management solution software, will bring to market the patented dual-screen laptop in the fourth quarter of 2002. Estari's 2-VU product line will include an eBook, handheld, laptop and portable desktop model."
