Synopsis: The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is a rather unique product, targeted squarely at mobile professionals who require the power, features, and performance of workstation-class machine on the go. We previously evaluated the standard ThinkPad W700 an...
Secondary screen is a novelty of breathtaking proportions. Loaded with ports, including five USB, fullsize DVI out and HDMI out. Unmatched performance in a laptop. 94 minutes of battery life isn't bad for a machine this big
If you got room for two displays, is it wrong to think you ought to have room for three? Gargantuan size, weight, price. Smells like burning
Abstract: For those of us who live and work on gigantic dual displays, making the transition to a cramped little notebook screen when it’s time to get things done on the road has never been easy. We’re spoiled. But there’s really never been any alternative, unl...
Desktoplike performance in a notebook – now with two screens!, Build quality still as good as always, Very good primary display with builtin color calibrator, Keyboard is as good as the one on my desk
Builtin calibrator doesn’t support second display, Small onboard digitizer features a terrible pen, Multimedia performance doesn’t quite cut it, Performance upgrades will elevate the price significantly

The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is about as expensive as it gets these days. However, if your work (or play) requires this level of power and performance, it's well worth the price and weight....
Dual-screen productivity all in one package; extremely fast; excellent keyboard; built-in drawing pad; bright, color-accurate screen
Large; heavy; expensive; short battery life; cant use external monitor in conjunction with built-in secondary LCD
Lenovo manages to sneak a smaller second screen into its top-of-the-line powerhouse notebook, building a no-sacrifices portable workstation with special appeal for the graphics and video-editing crowd. ...
Handy secondary display, Incredible power, Integrated digitizer, Good ergonomics
Very heavy and thick, Short battery life, Expensive
