Seeing Double: Lenovo Introduces Dual Screen W700ds
Posted 01/06/09 at 02:30:00 PM by Paul Lilly
As if we weren't already enamored with Lenovo's monstrous W700 Thinkpad, which earned a 9-verdict/Kickass award thanks in large part to a combination of high end hardware and a high color gamut screen, Lenovo's new dual-screen W700ds has us doing a double take.
All the innards remain the same, but this time around Lenovo adds a secondary 10.6-inch display to the exterior. That's larger than some netbooks! The 400-nit, 72 percent wide color gamut WUXGA display slides neatly out from the PC cover behind the primary display giving mobile power users the same dual-screen goodness as a multi-monitor desktop, albeit in a smaller package. The secondary display can be tilted up to 30 degrees and only adds a few millimeters in additional thickness to the Thinkpad, GottaBeMobile says.
"The ThinkPad W700ds dual screen mobile workstation challenged our international development team to engineer a notebook to fit the way workstation users work - in the office and on the road,” said Mark Cohen, vice president, Notebook Business Unit, Lenovo. “Bringing this level of innovation to the most extreme PC users required continually balancing size and functionality with keeping the PC cool and quiet."
The W700ds is available now direct from Lenovo with pricing starting at $3,663 (currently on sale starting at $3,070).

expect to see a laptop that has this screen extension on both sides of the monitor very soon.
likely will be configurable as either 3 independant displays, or will be usable as one large display
which this one dosent do far as you guys say.
(sure kinda with nvdisp on stretch, but i mean like a single display)

imagine you can watch porn on the little screen and when the girlfriend walks in you know that one that doesn't like porn you can just quickly close the small screen. Just hope and pray that the girlfriends and wife doesn't walk in at the same time because then you will need to learn to really run fast.
