Press quotes
"We think the W700 is a winner, an subtle combination of understated business machine and brute force multimedia monster; a design achievement that would be a hit in both the board room and LAN party."
Leaving gizmag, February 2009
"The ThinkPad W700ds takes all of the features offered by the W700 and adds a secondary, slide-out display, which increases monitor real-estate by 39%."
Leaving BenchmarkReviews.com, February 2009
"The dual-display is well constructed and stable. I saw the internals in a mock-up and you don't have to worry about the side screen flapping in the breeze."
Leaving JkONTheRun, January 2009
"Since tower workstation users typically work with two screens on their desk, one for their project and another for menus and other open applications, the W700ds lets them go mobile without giving up that convenience."
Leaving Computer Shopper, January 2009
"In a landscape where thin, light, and compact notebooks are becoming the norm, Lenovo's ThinkPad w700ds is a behemoth --but with good reason. This is quite possibly the ultimate notebook for graphics professionals and photographers."
Leaving PC World, January 2009
"Two screens are better than one. ... The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is the very first notebook computer to actually sport two displays: a 17-inch main display, plus a second 10.6-inch display that slides out the right side like a leaf in a dining room table. It even pivots forward to provide the optimum viewing angle alongside the main display."
Leaving Digital Trends, January 2009
"Of course, while the second screen is likely why most people are interested in this notebook, the ThinkPad W700ds mobile workstation still offers all the unique features and capabilities offered in the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation that included the industry's first built-in digitizer and built-in color calibrator."
Leaving Notebookreview.com, January 2009
"Unleash your creativity with W700: the photographer's mobile studio."
Leaving TabletPC2.com, December 2008
"The ThinkPad W700 may seem understated, but it's a top-flight laptop. For on-the-go graphics artists or anyone looking for the ultimate mobile workstation, it's hard to beat."
Leaving PC World, December 2008
"The Lenovo ThinkPad W700 is not only a desktop replacement; it's also a desktop-size machine. This laptop incorporates many of the latest mobile workstation features while also packing in a few unusual--and very welcome--goodies for the graphic artist or CAD designer."
Leaving PC World, December 2008
"What's perhaps more impressive is the W700's absolutely gorgeous 17-inch LCD panel, which has a 1,920 x 1,200 native resolution."
Leaving Computer Power User, February 2009
"Lenovo's latest ThinkPad doesn't only offer a second screen, but sets a new standard in mobile productivity....the ThinkPad W700ds is all about business, making it perfect for everything from editing video to working with high-end computation and visualization programs."
Leaving Computer World, December 2008
"While vendors such as Acer, Toshiba and HP employ big-screen notebooks in the name of entertainment, the ThinkPad W700ds is all about business, making it perfect for everything from editing video to working with high-end computation and visualization programs."
