the HP came in with almost identical specs bar the tablet digitiser yet this single laptop got pumped much more.
The reason for the schoolgirl-excited post seems to be because engadget got sent a demo unit.
So there's a marketing hint HP, give them something to drool over and you'll get more coverage.]]>Aug 12th 2008 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/M]]>Aug 12th 2008 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 3:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/

Actually, even with the trackpad not going haywire, that'd be hard because of the feel of the trackpad on your hand and wrist.

I wish this was in a 15in model, and had the option to put the Wacom on the left =( ]]>Aug 12th 2008 12:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 14th 2008 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/

That design necessitates that it must be on the desktop at all times - if I want to angle it I have to tilt the whole computer. Ergonomically, it looks a nightmare. And the tablet area is just too small for any proper work. And doesn't suit left handers.

It's not being fanboyish, I don't care what computer anyone uses and if you're in the design industry it's what gets the job done, not what you did it on that counts but that's adding something to a computer that kills it's usability. It may have everything you need on it but that doesn't mean everything on it is very good or carries out its true function. =)]]>Aug 12th 2008 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/Aug 12th 2008 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/
So, what would a creative user touch, a computer with no tablet at all? Would the absence of a tablet make it a better computer, improve its 'usability'?

For god's sake, it is obvious that these computers are made for the desktop. The integrated devices (trackpad, trackpoint, tablet) are meant to be used when you have no other choice. During normal use - on the desktop - you can have all the dangling devices you want.
Would said creative user use the trackpad (or the trackpoint) routinely to do his work instead of a mouse and be called 'half decent'?]]>Aug 12th 2008 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/12/lenovo-intros-the-monstrous-thinkpad-w700-and-we-get-our-hands/
