An unknown Alaskan company is attracting attention for a $3,000 laptop it plans to build that will apparently be the first to sport two 15.4-inch LCD screens.

Planned to arrive in time for Christmas, the SpaceBook from gScreen Computer Corp. will come with two identically sized LED backlit screens, one sliding out from behind the other in a design created by the Anchorage-based company, according to an article in Gizmodo late last week.

The Windows 7-based machine will also come with Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 4 GB of RAM, Nvidia GF900M GT discrete graphics, 7,200 RPM SATA drives, DVD player, and the choice of six or nine-cell batteries.

And it will weigh 8.7 pounds, the company said Tuesday by tweet, which is double the weight of mainstream laptops.

"It's absolutely the opposite of a netbook," gScreen CEO Gordon Stewart told Gizmodo.

gScreen is aiming the SpaceBook at designers, filmmakers, photographers and other creative professionals who are willing to pay for portability, power and extra screen real estate.

That strategy has potential, said PC analyst Rob Enderle.
