A laptop computer is constructed having a case including a keyboard and containing traditional computer components. A display screen is pivotally secured to the computer case and may be pivoted about the hinge to an operative position wherein an operator can observe the information displayed on the display screen. A second display screen is pivotally secured to the first display screen and is also connected to the computer components within the computer case. The second display screen, when hinged to its operative position displays the same information displayed on the first display screen, but is directed in an opposite direction to permit an operator and an observer to observe the same information viewable on the first and second display screens, respectively.
