I am looking forward to the upcoming Lenovo ThinkPad W700 notebook introduced especially for digital photographers, graphics designers and CAD/CAM specialists.
Among the most notable features are:
- 17-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1200 (WUXGA), that is extremely bright (400-nit) and is capable of showing 72% of the Adobe RGB color gamut.
- 4.7-inch-by-3.2-inch digitizer that is essentially a mini-Wacom tablet that sits next to the laptop’s touch pad. The digitizer pad can be mapped to the entire screen or to a defined area so you can manipulate images by hand.
- X-rite Pantone color sensor that’s capable of color-calibrating the display when the lid is closed, eliminating the need to carry a separate calibration device. The calibrator automatically adjusts the display’s color up to four times a month to help provide the most accurate, true-to-life images.
Hardware wise it supports the latest top-of-the-line features available in the notebook market:
- up to 8 GB DDR3 – SDRAM
- up to 960 (320 x 3) GB HDD with support of RAID 0 & 1 configuration
- NVIDIA Quadro M3700 GPU with 1GB of VRAM
- support Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad Core processor
- Blu-ray™ DVD burner/player
- Connectivity support: WLAN 802.11n or WWAN 2 or WiMax
For video presentation and demo with Photoshop and color calibration go to www.notebooks.com.
The ThinkPad W700 will begin shipping in September 2. Retail Price range from USD3k to 5k.

this thing is must be very heavy….
dimas,
Yes, at close to 4kg in weight, it’s not meant to be lugged around but more of a portable desktop replacement suitable for outdoor or on location photography assignments……
