More Stuff You Can’t Afford, The $3,600 ThinkPad

Posted Dec 24, 2008 | by Rich Menga  

image Next month the Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is coming. It’s a 17-inch screened, Intel Core 2 Quad’ed, 980GB hard drive’d beast.

But what makes it worth $3,600?

See that thing sticking out from the right?

You guessed it, that’s another screen. You may asking yourself “Is that a dual-screen laptop?” You are correct.

Also note the drawing tablet next to the trackpad. This sucker is loaded with goodies.

As far as the actual usefulness of a dual-monitor’d laptop.. well.. you be the judge. Useful or not?

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...

    I’m an accountant, and we’re addicted to dual-screen setups, so we can look at a spread sheet and an accounting program at the same time, and transfer info back and forth without having to hassle with switching apps on one screen. On a laptop though, I can probably make do with one screen.

    I also note a full numeric keypad on this baby — that’s a feature that will definitely be on my next laptop!! Again, it’s an “accounting thing.”

    If I had the three thousand I just might give it a try. I have dual monitors with my table top and enjoy them. To have with a portable notebook along with a drawing pad just might be fun. Then the weight might jus kill it
