Canova's dual touch-screen laptop carries a strong whiff of the sci-fi about it. I can imagine the world of 2028, in which I whip it out to read a few passages of Fantômas, Lord of Terror as my flying car whisks me to the pyramidal skyscraper that houses the Ministry of Prognostication, Wired.com's future name as a nationalized component of the Department of Homeland Security.
In all seriousness, the design's resemblance to a movie prop only highlights its possible usefulness: metadata on one screen, work on the other, perhaps, in a kind of means-business echo of Nintendo's DS. Or, one screen could act as a dynamic keyboard, extra keys popping up contextually to reflect the choices relevant to what is on the main display.
