Looking for an extreme workstation machine? Check out Lenovo's newly released ThinkPad W700ds notebook computer. The best thing about this laptop is that it gives users prime screen real-estate by making use of two screens. Generally, workstation users work on two (or more) monitors, but when it comes to laptops you have to settle for only one. But with the launch of W700ds, you can work on two displays simultaneously. Measuring almost 40 percent of the 17-inch primary screen, the 10.6-inch second screen gives users extra screen real-estate, measuring approximately the size of a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 netbook. Lenovo said that this machine would be damn useful in the most demanding of fields such as digital content creation, oil and gas exploration, computer-aided design and photography.

The second screen easily slides out from the PC cover behind the primary screen, and it can also be adjusted to fit a user’s viewing angle by up to 30 degrees, similarly to how a car’s rear view mirror tilts. This unique feature and test of engineering only adds a few millimeters in additional thickness to the mobile workstation over its predecessor, the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation.

The second screen complements the primary optional 400-nit WUXGA display, which provides up to twice the brightness of earlier ThinkPad mobile workstations. The primary screen’s 72 percent wide color gamut enables more than 50 percent greater color intensity for an uncompromised viewing experience.

Specification include Intel Core 2 Quad Core Extreme Processor QX9300 (2.53GHz), up to 8GB high-speed DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M graphics with 1GB, 1.3 Megapixel webcam, fingerprint reader, max 960GB hard disk storage with RAID, optional SSD, Blu-ray, Wireless, BLuetooth, and Vista.

The ThinkPad W700ds starts at $2,459, but the extreme specs will set you for way above base price.
