Pretty nifty machine, but really, is it practical?

There's no way you can use that thing on battery for very long, especially with the extra screen!]]>Dec 18th 2008 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/

Seriously though, this is a damn good alternative to docking with dual monitors. I know there will be plenty of people at work who will want these for various reasons; especially home office employees that want the functionality of dual screens, but the convenience of not having a set desk/workstation to accomplish it.]]>Dec 18th 2008 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/that thing had 2 side monitors and running ati 9800, simply awsome !]]>Dec 18th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Apple has basically ignored creative professionals with their new line, and this is a wet dream for them.]]>Dec 18th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/Dec 18th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/

Jokes aside, I think this is very nice and usable in arbitrary ways, without ifs and buts. Though a part of me somewhat longs for a version with two slightly smaller, equally sized screens on both sides that can be nicely folded in like window blinds (yes, the ones with hinges). Because, and don't deny it, nothing can beat symmetry and a bit of a futuristic-display-that-covers-your-entire-field-of-view-in-a-totally-cyberspacish-way feel!]]>Dec 18th 2008 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/18/thinkpad-w700-surfaces-with-secondary-10-6-inch-lcd/
