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?

There are some laptops that are worth their $3000 price tag and some that are not. This one definitely is. The W700 ThinkPad from Lenovo has a built-in Wacom tablet directly next to the trackpad and said honestly, this kicks ass. Big 17-inch screen, fast processor and a must-have for anyone that does any type of graphic design work.

As I’ve stated several times on the PCMech Live broadcast, the ThinkPad is the best built laptop. Always has been and always will be. In the grand pecking order of best laptops, it’s Lenovo ThinkPad, Apple Macbook Pro and Dell Precision Mobile Workstation – in that order. When you want the best of the best, you go ThinkPad. Disagree if you will but you’d be wrong. There is nothing better than a ThinkPad.
