Lenovo’s Portable ‘PC Beast’ With In-Built Digitiser
Whether you’re a work-at-home professional or well-heeled gamer, Lenovo thinks its new 17in mobile workstation, the W700, is just the ticket, especially since it’s the first with an ‘optional’ built-in palm-rest digitizer and color calibrator for creative types. The digitizer in the new ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation is aimed at digital content creators and users, allowing them to easily configure an image, either mapping it to the entire screen or to an area defined by the user. The colour calibrator allows photographers to adjust the display’s colour on the fly, with Lenovo claiming it provides ‘the most accurate, true-to-life images in an integrated package’. The rest of the notebook has been built to match too. It’s powered by… …a 3.0GHz Core 2 Extreme quad core processor, up to 8GB DDR3 RAM, dual hard disk drives and/or Solid State Storage (SSD) drives, 1GB nVidia Quadro FX 3700M graphics and an optional Blu-ray drive. This is the first Lenovo notebook with a big-ass 17in screen and it’s a good one too with a brightness rating of 400nits - that’s twice as bright as the displays in existing ThinkPad mobile workstations. The W700 also boasts Dual Link DVI, Display Port and VGA connections alongside 5 USB slots. No HDMI though. Photographers will be chuffed to hear that it comes with a 7-in-1 multicard reader as standard as well as an optional CompactFlash reader. Prices start at around £1,500, but expect that to jump with all those ‘options’. See another shot below.-Martin Lynch laptop news notebook
