Microsoft is working on Auxiliary Display technology

Basically auxiliary displays are small little LCD screens with a control interface that allows you to see if you have new email, control media players, and othe cool features.

This would be kickass to see on a laptop.

Very nice. Wonder how it'll affect battery life though.

Kinda cool. Wonder how much battery life that chomps down.

I can't believe how many people are still saying how bulky it is. I read the post on there by Peter Rojas and it cleared it up for me.

I actually specifically asked MSFT about the form factor issue, and they said that Aux Display doesn't have to add any significant weight or heft to the laptop. The ASUS is like that for other reasons, the display itself is pretty thin and doesn't require as much space as is implied by that prototype.
