While folding displays continue to become more popular throughout the tech industry, Microsoft may be working on something a bit different behind the scenes -- a dual-screen prototype laptop, according to a report from The Verge.

The outlet claims sources familiar with Microsoft's internal plans recently showed off a "sizzle" video to employees, which displayed a new line of Surface devices, and "dual-screen prototype hardware."
This device has reportedly been dubbed "Centaurus" for now, though that will inevitably change to more Surface-appropriate branding in the future (assuming this mystery product ever makes it to market).

Not much is known about the device's design, specifications, or unique features -- all we really know is that it could feature a lightweight version of Windows called "Windows Lite" for an OS and that it will be "larger" than the company's other dual-screen gadget concepts, such as the Courier (pictured above).

Microsoft reportedly put the project on hold last summer and that was the last we heard of it until this past March when a new patent related to the project was published. The patent revealed a hinge for the foldable that would allow the screens to rotate 360 degrees.

Today, a report out of Germany discusses two new U.S. patents (1,2) that were published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO, via Windows United) that are related to the foldable device. One of the patents once again discusses the hinge and again we learn that it will allow the screens to move in a 360-degree arc while supporting different positions that the dual screens can be opened in.
The Centaurus device supposedly runs Microsoft's multiple platform version of Windows called Windows Core OS; the latter will drive smartphones, tablets, headsets desktop PCs and more.
