LENOVO THINKPAD W700DS STARTS SHIPPING

Its not like this is big news but if you have the money and was waiting on this thing to begin making its way out of Lenovo's warehouse than today is your lucky day. The dual-screen with an integrated WACOM pad is shipping as we speak and starts as a measly $3,663.

Just in case you forgot the specs of this monster the following configurations are all available. NIVIDIA Quadro FX graphics, 8GB RAM (DDR3), dual-link DVI / Display Port / VGA support, 5 x USB 2.0 ports, 7-in-1 card reader, WiFi (WiMax optional), smartcard reader, RAID HDD/SSD setups, and thermal cooling solution to keep your balls from frying (sorry couldn't resist).

So far we haven't been able to find this thing anywhere on the US site but I'm guessing that will all change pretty soon. Japan can't hold this one for too long.

LENOVO THINKPAD W700DS – A MULTITASKING MONSTER

Lenovo has made a big leap in technology with its ThinkPad W700ds by introducing dual screen display in a notebook. The original 17-inch screen is supposedly the brightest display available today and now you can just pull the second 10.2-inch LED display from the side of the original screen for an extra peek. You can even tilt the second display forward or backwards on a hinge and drag and drop files from one display to another. How cool is this! Sure to make graphic artists, application developers and some gaming fiends to drool. They will just have to wait for this tech wonder which will be officially announced at the CES in early January.

With Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds you have an option between Intel Core 2 Quad processor or a 3 GHz Core 2 Extreme that has four independent processing cores, and includes 8GB RAM, up to 960GB of storage shared by an SSD and a hard drive, NVIDA Quadra FX 3700M GPU, optional Blu-ray support, 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, an ExpressCard/54 slot, gigabit Ethernet, a 7-in-1 media card reader, and an assortment of USB 2.0 ports. This desktop replacement notebook has a generous keyboard with 18.7mm keys and illuminated by a pair of LED lights or you can use the pointing stick over a touchpad, both are at your disposal. With the dual screen and the big AC adapter this monster weighs about 13lbs which discards any idea of mobility. This mighty monster also has a monstrous price tag of $5000, but there is no doubt that Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds has taken multitasking to a whole new level in a notebook.
