Moonlight Laptop Concept Comes With Cool Dual-Screen Design

What do you think about concepts in general? I, for one, really like them. I am aware that most of them will never enter in production, but if I can dream, why wouldn’t I dream? It feels nice to dream for a better future, and better products. Here is a laptop concept called Moonlight, and as you will see from the pictures, it is based on a really cool dual-screen design.
The dual-screen laptop concept was designed by Teo Braun, a student which loves 3D modeling and animation. Teo says that he designed Moonlight for a contest, however, he lost it. Can you imagine that? Well, you can see the dual-curved screens - one measuring 16:9, while the other which is smaller measures 4:3. The laptop was designed with “health” in mind as it allows its users to “maintain an ideal distance between the eyes”.

According to the designer, the Moonlight can be developed using conventional technologies. The Moonlight concept features a frame with built-in sensors that light up when it’s dark. This will release the stress on the eyes so you can work, play, or surf the Internet under ideal circumstances. The smaller screen is actually a touchscreen and it could have various implications - it can be used as a mouse (probably as a touchpad), it can run another OS, or it can be used as a secondary screen.

At the back you can see a pair of legs which were designed to lift the laptop in the correct position, and to “properly” place its keyboard. The design looks feasible to me, and we already have the technologies required for development therefore I think the Moonlight concept should be manufactured soon. But it needs a manufacturer so all of them should hurry up because the Moonlight is great. Let’s just wait and see if Teo Braun manages to draw the attention of laptop manufacturers, meanwhile just check the pictures and let me know if you like it. Scroll down for more shots!
