CES 2009: Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds hands-on

Chris Davies, Jan 8th 2009 Discuss [0]

Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700ds may have been around for a few weeks, but CES has been the first opportunity we at SlashGear have had to play with the dual-display behemoth. Based on Lenovo’s original W700, complete with a Wacom graphics digitizer integrated into the palm rest, the W700ds adds a pull-out 10.6-inch LCD display that slides from the main 17-inch panel. It’s an interesting concept, but our hands-on impressions leave us wondering if the compromises are worth it.

Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds mobile workstation: New images and details

Chris Davies, Dec 22nd 2008 Discuss [1]

When news of Lenovo's ThinkPad W700ds dual-display workstation broke last week we did wonder if the small photo was a fan mockup - the side display looked very much "tagged on". Now new, larger official images have appeared, and it looks like that original picture was accurate. Happily we also have a new price range, which is much less than what early tips suggested: Lenovo will be selling the W700ds from around $3,600. Read The Full Story
