Both the screens can be used at the same time. You can open your facebook in one screen and have a live streaming video open in the other one. It can be of tremendous help for work purposes where you can have multiples charts open and compare them with their graphical trend.

The Virtual keyboard:

If you put both hands on top of the display, a virtual keyboard automatically appears, anticipating your needs. There are gesture controls, as well, for easy interaction with the system.
You can use the whenever you need to type something though typing can be stressful if used for a long time.
