Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds
Lenovo has not been a conventional and predictable company, has it? It has maintained a line of notebooks, that although are certified to be tough and hardy, lacked the aesthetic features chased and often improved on by the majority of laptop manufacturers.
Likewise, in a most controversial move announced just before the year 2008 ended, Lenovo will be launching a new mobile workstation that has two screens, the first ever.
Not only that, the unit will be supplied with powerful quad-core processor and graphics card to fully maximize the potential of the screens.
As surprising as those features may seem, the weight and size of the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds and its expected price are not exactly normal either.
While other manufacturers tried to profit from the ultra-portable budget netbook market segment, Lenovo has decided to be the odd one yet again.
We do not have the exact dimensions yet, but this unit is rumoured to be bigger in size than most conventional laptops and heavier too, especially when its huge AC adapter is brought into the equation.
Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds maintained the basic black ThinkPad design which has served them so well over the years.
Its basic processor clock speed will be 2.53 GHz with 6MB L2 cache and 64-bit operations support. 4GB of memory and 250GB hard disk drive capacity is available for this unit.
The two screens can display maximum resolution of 3200×1968 pixels combined and we think the notebook will be very popular for those people wishing to improve on their computing productivity.
Unfortunately, the screens cannot be separated into two different desktops. We wonder whether this shortcoming can be addressed by software.
Besides, when you used the second screen to extend your screen resolution, one cannot help but notice the weird 1-in. black strip separating the two displays.
Perhaps this two little complaints can be the source of someone elses’ innovation?
