Abstract
Systems and methods relating to notebook computers providing enhanced display features are described. In one instance, an exemplary notebook computer includes a housing. The housing includes a base that has a keyboard positioned on the base. The housing also includes a lid attached to the base via a hinge means and configured to swing from a transport-position against the keyboard to a user-position away from the keyboard. The notebook computer also includes a first display device positioned on the lid and generally opposing the keyboard. The notebook computer further includes a second optionally-deployable display device attached to the notebook computer and configured to deploy from a first storage-position to a second user-position in which the second optionally-deployable display device is configured to collectively create a user workspace with the first display device for a user positioned in front of the keyboard and generally opposite the hinge means.
