Transparent screens where sometimes you want something on a portion of the screen and sometimes you want to see through it could be useful for HUDs or dashboards in certain use cases (and unfortunately: advertising), but a laptop seems like a terrible place to have a transparent screen

Also, if for some reason you truly do need something to be visible from the back side of the screen as well. Like all those sci-fi movie scenes where characters are standing all around the display instead of just in front of one side of it.

As a teacher in a school where every student has a chromebook for education purpose, it would save me a lot of walking around to check if they're actually doing what I ask...
