The extra screen however does seem like it could be a nice luxury. If you have ever used photoshop you would realize that. There are some weird things about this laptop but the features are unique and really quite cool. ]]>Jan 26th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/
I can say from experience that these kind of stickers DO NOT come off easily, at least in every case. I've carefully tried to remove them from 3 windows laptops (2 HP's and a Compaq from before the merger), and each time the adhesive separates from the sticker, leaving a sticky residue on the machine. I honestly don't think they are designed to be removed but rather to look permanent.]]>Jan 26th 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/

All in all, one kick a$$ laptop for those who can afford it.

Read the article at all? No, eh? Eh?

Well, I will quote it for you: "You can get yourself into one of these for just over $3,000 if you can avoid clicking on any of those oh-so tempting options".

In fact, a comparable configuration to the basic MBP - not really, because the ThinkPas is more powerful - is a little above $3000; and of course the MBP hasn't got the extra screen. Got it? Eh? Eh?]]>Jan 26th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 12:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/Jan 26th 2009 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/

The 2nd screen is... well OK - however on my desk with 3 screens already, I'd have to move my lava-lamp, photo's and where would my coffee go!?

ON an air plane... that 2nd screen would be the vane of every stewardess walking the isles with beverages.

The second screen is awesome. Anyone that cant see the possibilities of this is just completely clueless.
I can see why lefties are up at arms over this though. It does seem to be quite an imposition to use the digitizer. Being right or left handed should have no impact on the secondary display though. Unless your right hand is completely lame and cant pull the thing out from its storage slot. ]]>Jan 26th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/26/lenovo-w700ds-laptop-review-two-screens-of-fury-in-one-hefty-pa/
And that's the primary virtue of ThinkPads, their rugged nature. (I actually DID drop my old ThinkPad down a stairwell. It was fine; I was the one who's life flashed in front of her eyes.) Well, that and the TrackPoint, the best mini imput device ever IMHO.

I've seen a lot of people lugging around huge heavy 17" laptops.
