b"British manufacturer Expanscape has showcased the Aurora 7 (Prototype) multi-screen laptop that includes not two or three but seven displays to enable multitasking. The bulky device that weighs roughly 11kg and is 4.3-inches in thickness, is specifically designed for data scientists, developers or anyone who needs more than two monitors to function. As mentioned, it is still a prototype, and the company is looking at ways to improve the design and features. Here's what Aurora 7 multi-screen laptop by Expanscape offers. Starting with the design, the Expanscape Aurora 7 packs seven different displays, each of which can be folded out individually. There are two 17.3-inch horizontal monitors each with 4K resolution. The two large vertical monitors on the sides also have 4K resolution but with relatively more brightness of 400 nits over 300 nits. Each vertically-placed screens have a 7-inch screen with Full-HD resolution, on top. Lastly, there is a small 1.44-inch touch-enabled display panel on the body, with 128x128 pixels. The company has not explained its hinge-mechanism but we can notice there's a broad-and-bulky base that provides balance to the laptop when fully unfolded. Under the hood, the Expanscape Aurora 7 packs the Intel Core i9-9900k, 64GB of DDR4 RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. In terms of hard drive storage, the notebook has two NVME SSDs, each with 1 TB and 500 GB capacity. There are also two SATA SSDs that get by with 1TB or 2TB. The company will likely upgrade the GPU or CPU units as the laptop of this size would require more power to run seven monitors, simultaneously. According to Gizmodo, the current prototype version of Expanscape Aurora 7 only lasts for 1 hour with the primary battery unit. There's a secondary 148Wh battery just to power its additional displays, and that's over the US Federal Aviation Administration' (FAA) legal limit to fly in a plane. Air India also does not allow individual passengers to carry batteries exceeding 100Wh capacity."
