Lenovo ThinkPad W700

(4 out of 5)

MSRP: $3,802

This high-end mobile workstation offers incredible 3D performance, a built-in digitizer, and a dazzling high-res display.

Lenovo has redefined the once-boring workstation. More than just a beast of a 17-inch box for workers who need serious graphics muscle, the ThinkPad W700 features two firsts: a digitizer built right into the palm rest (great for Photoshop or CAD/CAM applications) and an integrated color calibrator that automatically adjusts the display’s color in about half the time as external solutions to ensure realistic images. At $3,802, the price tag is steep—and will get even steeper once Intel’s mobile quad-core processor becomes available—but even our configuration’s performance is tough to beat. Design There’s no mistaking the clean lines and familiar matte black finish of a ThinkPad, and despite its size, the W700 maintains that look. Lenovo’s largest ThinkPad ever measures 16.1 x 12.2 x 1.6 inches and weighs 8.3 pounds, which is pretty much in line with other desktop replacements. However, the power brick is one of the biggest and heaviest we’ve seen, measuring 6.7 x 3.3 x 1.5 inches and weighing 1.8 pounds.
