ThinkPad W700 Laptop with a 10.6 Inch Attached Second Screen

Is this the future of laptops? The new ThinkPad W700 just appeared on IBM’s site sporting an optional 10.6 secondary screen attached to the side of the main one like a parasitic twin. The main screen is a 17-inch WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) display and the secondary one is a 10.6-inch WXGA (1,280 x 768). It’s like having a netbook attached to your laptop. This is ideal for anyone who needs two monitors but desires either portability or less bulk than a traditional desktop machine. I’m curious how it all folds up though.
