Lenovo Intros the Monstrous ThinkPad W700
Engadget recently got their hands on an early delivery of Lenovo's new powerhouse of a laptop, the W700. Aimed at graphic artists and photographers, this beast is designed to really pack a punch. No word on how much for the extra fusion generator to power it for longer than 20 minutes. "Containing enough computational artillery to level a small village, this for-creatives-only behemoth is designed for sheer pixel pushing ... and little else. The system packs in two features aimed at graphic artists and photographers which are fairly unique to a laptop: a built in Wacom digitizer just to the right of the trackpad, and an on-board color calibrator. But what's happening under the hood you ask? Well, for starters the 17-incher sports the first-ever Intel Quad Core Extreme CPU in a laptop (no word on speeds at this point) as well as the first showing of NVIDIA's Quadro FX 3700 graphics chipset (with a hefty 1GB of memory on-board). The workstation also serves up dual hard drive bays configurable as RAID 0 or 1 (SSD or traditional disk, naturally), up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and an optional Blu-ray burner. Of course, that's fully kitted out -- the W700 starts at $2,978 and moves skyward from there."
Made in China. Designed in China. So the Chinese are not only into knock-offs anymore. Beware!
Wow, that's really closed-minded. Exactly the opposite of what I've been taught to expect from "creative" people. Is this why design these days is so stuck in the mud? Automatic rejection of any concept that doesn't fit inside the narrow-minded parameters of what everyone else thinks is acceptable?
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
Yep, another proof that chinks are fucking nazis
