Lenovo W700ds Review

Topic:

Our review partner Digital Trends tested the unique Lenovo W700ds laptop with its 2nd screen. Our friends are not happy with the W700ds and gave a rather poor rating.
Quote from the review: "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, unless you wanted to roll up a monitor in bubble pack and stuff it into the bottom of your suit case. That was, of course before the Lenovo W700ds appeared. With a 10.6-inch secondary screen that slides out of its side, it’s the very first dual-display notebook. And with a starting price of $3,069, it has the price of a first-gen machine. Read more

Lenovo W700ds Review

Topic:

The Lenovo W700ds is the first notebook computer to offer dual screens to mobile workers. Laptop Magazine got their hands on the massive workstation and put the machine through its paces. The unit is the same quad-core W700 notebook released last fall but for the addition of the second 10-inch display on the side.

The massive machine retails for $5100 and weighs a porky 11 pounds. Not something you want to heft through an airport. The power brick alone weighs more than most netbooks. The machine is powered by Intel's QX9300 quad-core CPU and features 4GB of RAM. The rig shattered records in Laptop's PCMark Vantage tests with a score of 5,296, 2,000 points higher than the class average. Read more
