The ThinkPad W700ds 2752-E7U Laptop Computer from Lenovo is true portable workstation, designed for the most demanding professionals. Perfect for photographers, digital artists, and mavens of video, the notebook's large 17" widescreen display is unmatched in quality by any competitor. The display covers 72% of the Adobe RGB color gamut, and can be properly calibrated using the innovative integrated X-Rite huey PRO colorimeter.
Photographers and editors often use dual-screen configurations so they may work at peak efficiency. Normally this is not an option for working on the go, unless one is brave enough to haul an external LCD display around. The W700ds offers an innovative solution: a secondary 10.6" LCD, in portrait orientation, slides out of the right side of the monitor. Perfect for palettes, toolbars, and thumbnail views, this display can be angled for optimal viewing.
The computer also features an integrated Wacom digitizer tablet, built right into the palm rest. This 5 x 3" pad accepts input from the included pen, which conveniently stows in the notebook when not in use. Graphic designers, artists, and Photoshop aficionados will feel right at home using this convenient tablet.
Professionals are certain to appreciate the system's computing power. It features nVIDIA's Quadro FX3700M GPU, with 1GB of dedicated memory. The card's full power can be leveraged by such GPU-accelerated applications as Adobe After Effects and Photoshop CS4.
Processing is handled by a quad-core 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 CPU with Centrino technology. The system is loaded with 4GB of memory, and features dual 160GB hard drives, giving you 320GB of storage. You'll be pleased to know that the notebook features an integrated webcam, 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It supports ExpressCard/34 and ExpressCard/54 expansion cards, and features a DVD Burner for disc burning. Windows Vista Business (64-bit) is the installed operating system, and the computer's 9-cell battery provides approximately 2.1 hours of runtime per charge.
