Wow, good point. It's like a DS. Bottom screen touch, top screen normal. Just these screens are different sizes .

I find this one hard to believe even for a rumor.

1. Costs - Video memory, graphics cards, it would seem to be a bit of a expense to have double these items in a laptop model.

2. Why look at the smaller screen? Personally I would love to see a larger screen macbook pro.

3. If I were to make it touch screen I wouldn't stop at the track pad. I would do the whole computer. One screen for viewing, the other for keyboard and mouse. Then when I want the really large screen I open up the laptop completely and abracadabra, keyboard and mouse disappear and then I have twice the screen.
