Testing Lenovo's ThinkPad W700ds Dual-Screen Notebook

Posted by kdawson on from the laptop-envy dept.

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."

    Let's look again at those features.


    - webcam -:$20.

    - fingerprint scanner -: $35
    - Wacom tablet -: $79
    - VGA/DualLink DVI/DisplayPort -: Probably already in a $2K desktop.
    - Display Calibrator -: Never seen this on desktop or Laptop before, don't know how well it works.
    - FireWire -: Probably already in a $2K desktop.
    - Express/Smart Card expansion -: 5 in 1 multicard reader. $15
    - WiFi/Bluetooth -: USB Bluetooth and PCI WiFi -: $30 total
    - Not to mention... fits in your backpack -: Back to the grand parent's point that "the extra cost really is just for mobility."

    $2,179 is still a hell of a lot cheaper than $6,209.

    Homer did not design the Cayonero, he designed "The Homer". The Cayonero was not designed by any major character, but was promoted by Krusty the Klown when he got into stand up comedy.
