E-Ink touchscreen and IPS panel collide in dual-screen laptop — $199 Bluegen OKPad all-in-one launches on Kickstarter

Bluegen's dual-screen OKPad tablet in use from its Kickstarter trailer.

Bluegen has launched a dual-screen OKPad tablet on Kickstarter, joining the dual-screen PC party at a much lower price point — and with a unique caveat that the lower screen is an E-Ink display rather than a duplicate of the top screen, which is usually an IPS panel. The unit starts at $199 through Kickstarter's Super Early Bird pricing, but the final price is telegraphed to double up to a $399 MSRP.

The unique combination of dual-screen panel types is also supplemented by a 360-degree hinge form factor that allows for tablet, tent, and stand modes adjusted precisely to your surface of choice. And of course, you can also choose to use a single screen at a time and turn off the other entirely.
