Twin River is Intel’s attempt to build a dual-screen laptop out of fabric

Intel’s wild Honeycomb Glacier prototype wasn’t the only one we saw in its Santa Clara labs. Today, we’re also giving you a first glimpse at another idea that you might see in your future dual- or flexible-screen laptop: a chassis made largely out of fabric.

This is Intel’s Twin River, and it’s remarkable not only for the amount of prototyping that went into figuring out how to wrap a pair of 12.3-inch, 1920 x 1280 touchscreen displays in that polyester, polyamide, and lycra textile combination, but also how much power it managed to retain inside that frame.
