Testing Lenovo's ThinkPad W700ds Dual-Screen Notebook

MojoKid writes "Lenovo's ThinkPad W700 is a unique product, targeted squarely at mobile professionals who require the power, features, and performance of workstation-class product in a notebook. The machine has a few stand-out integrated features, like a Wacom Digitizer Tablet and X-Rite Color Calibrator. In addition, the ThinkPad W700ds version and adds a secondary, slide-out 10.6" WXGA+ display, which increases monitor real-estate by 39% spanning across its two panels. HotHardware's video demonstrates the machine's arsenal of toys for the graphics pro, in a somewhat portable desktop replacement notebook."

    Yo Dawg, we heard you like LCD screens, so we've put an LCD screen inside your LCD screen. So now you can look at things while you look at other things.

    We also heard you like pointing devices, so this baby has three of them!, with two sets of buttons!

    From the specs:
    Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista Business 64

    It's a good thing the put "Genuine" in there to clarify things. Otherwise people might assume IBM was shipping this $6,000 notebook with a pirated copy of Windows to keep the price down.

      When Win7 releases they'll probably play catch up to Apple and rebrand it "iGenuine"

    $6,209 is the demo model. Actual prices start at "just over $3000", but I can't find what features you get for that.

    A one year discount pass to your local chiropractor.

    Uh, boss. We accidentally put two screens on this laptop. What should we do?

    Hm... Charge people twice the price and call it a feature!

    The two screens, with the brightness set above seven, makes the laptop lighter.

    It was on page three of the article.
