The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is a rather unique product, targeted squarely at mobile professionals who require the power, features, and performance of workstation-class machine on the go. We previously evaluated the standard ThinkPad W700 and praised the system for its performance and stand-out integrated features, like a Wacom Digitizer Tablet and X-Rite Color Calibrator. The ThinkPad W700ds takes all of the features offered by the W700 and ads a secondary, slide-out display, which increases monitor real-estate by 39%.
The machine we received for evaluation was outfitted with 4GB of RAM, a 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300, an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M 1GB GPU, and dual Hitachi hard drives running in RAID 0 configuration. Its sale price? $6,209.00 as configured. ThinkPad W700ds pricing ranges from just over $4000 though, to approximately $8000 for a fully loaded configuration.

Damn, that is a sweet piece of hardware right there. |

That thing is probally the coolest Notebook I have ever seen. |
|
That is one big laptop. Very powerful for those that need that on the road though. Also Marco got some blink going on |
|
That Notebook looks awesome!!! Great review Marco. I too noticed Marco got some Blink |
Yeah, I'm not much of a bling guy but I do need to get me a new watch! The W700ds is pretty sweet too. If I were to get a desktop replacement machine, that would be my rig. |

Even though I don't think the laptop itself has a stylish look, it is quite something. I really like that second monitor. It can come really handy. |
Its not stylish at all. It does have the WOW factor down though. |
