Are there only 2 positions for the screen (tablet and laptop)? Or some intermediate positions too?

No there isnt. If you are on a coffee table your Skype partner can hardly see your face. It was a good idea then, I wouldnt buy today. Nice ultrabook with unresolved wifi problem.

Only two locked positions, laptop, and tablet form, the angle is set in the laptop position, so you must adjust your view angle for it. That has been inconvienent only on occasion, I use mine for work, normally in the car, thus glare during sunny days in the summer played a minor issue with having only one locked angle of view in the laptop position. But I really enjoy mine, I had thought the sliding lock motion would be less then durable, but I have had it for a while now and it has proved durable for the long term, but I don't drop my laptop..lol. I have Zero regrets other then Sony closing my local outlet store.

Hi, this Sony Duo 13 only have 2 positions (tablet and laptop). No other position can be done. -Ely

No, it's just the wrong configuration for a laptop. Perfect for tablets though.

There is probably a way to do this: In windows: you will have tell the screen to be oriented vertically (if your graphics driver supports it) and then hold the tablet vertically (the stand that comes with it is by default, horizontal). Also keep in mind: the tablet works best when in single-monitor configurations. If you use two monitors and spread the desktop across both, you will have to disable that feature while using the tablet (On Windows 7, with some video cards). Usually Windows 7 will detect when the tablet is plugged-in and switch things around for you, but sometimes it doesn't.

I currently have a laptop and another flat screen monitor on it and there is an okay/workable amount of space on the main part of the desk. Depending on the size of your keyboard, you will have a fair amount of space on the left side and then have the entire right side of the desk.

yes - two on the right side and two in back. Note: the Nvidia chip models have the awesome resolution (great for digital painting, etc), but sadly a shorter lifespan due to faulty design (avoid GPU intensive things like gaming and 3D rendering that heat up the video chip). So if you are looking for a long life laptop go with Intel video chip version, or another laptop.

Stephen, the two answers below are correct. There are different screen technologies, but if you follow Carl's suggestion, you will not need to worry about that. The only other concern is look at where the connectors are on your current screen (bottom left or right) and be sure you get a screen with the connectors in the same place.

Yes u can but its kinda awkward if ur thinking of using the touch feature becausee laptop doesn't fold like a tablet I don't use touch as much

The screen is always connected to the keyboard. when it is "open," the screen merely slides up at an angle and is held in place a that angle. This is not a typical laptop in that the screen is always exposed. It does not fold over onto the keyboard.

I haven't tried my laptop. I use my tablet when I am in the chair. It probably will be fine with an extra pillow either under your head (which I do) or under your knees.

I am using the keyboard to type this note. The keyboard is on my lap, BUT the tablet is not. I do not think it is as easy to use as a true "laptop" setup. But does work very well when a table is handy, even if the table is very small and can only hold the tablet. When using the tablet on the run, I use the pop-up soft keyboard.

No... This has 1 screen. The 2nd screen below is an iPad that can be inserted into the bottom.

The other two are touchscreen enabled screens. Those screens are thicker and have more components in them. Spec wise they run the same it's just a difference of interface. Hope that helps. =)

a laptop works well and you can have the two screens work in unison. The drawback to a tower would be the drawer isn't wide enough for a keyboard and it should be placed on the floor for room on the desk.

I can only figure out one way for the stand to work, it does not have two positions like my Surface 2 does. I love this cover, I just wish I could use the two positions when the cover is on.

I has 2 viewing angles. For one of them you will have to turn the tablet upside down.

The tablet does not come apart from the keyboard. It flips and you close the laptop. The screen is now on the outside.

There is an area where you can place a tablet or ipad. I place my ipad there and it doesn't move at all, even while running on it.
