This bottom panel would have a variety of functions, including a virtual keyboard and a game-supporting interface. The secondary display will function as a dedicated input unit thanks to its innovative design. This situation necessitates the use of a keyboard. The virtual screen will replace all of the keys and options found on a contemporary laptop’s physical keypad.

This panel would also provide biometric authentication in addition to the keyboard layout. Touch ID, gesture controls, and a rotating dial are some of the other peripherals that may be added to the virtual display.

Apple’s dual-screen MacBook design has now received patent clearance. This does not imply that the gadget is ready to go into production at this time. There’s a good possibility that this device will be released in 2021.
That’s especially true given the fact that Apple has yet to reveal any plans indicating the dual-screen MacBook’s development. With only a few months left, the brand may find it impossible to finish mass manufacturing.
