Lenovo ThinkPad W701ds Review - PCWorld

This ISV (independent software vendor)-certified laptop crushes every application it encounters. In tests with professional-level content-creation tools, including 3D Studio Max 2011, Painter 11, and Avid Media Composer, all of the programs ran...

Includes unique, useful pro content-creation tools

Speaker quality falls short of meeting pro demands

Aimed at content creators and engineers, this portable Goliath could replace desktop workstations, letting pros stay productive anywhere.

Lenovo ThinkPad W701

The ThinkPad W701 is an extremely well-specified mobile workstation. Bulky, heavy and very expensive, it's a system for specialist power users with a big budget.

Cutting-edge specification, including Intel Core i7-920XM processor, 6GB of RAM and 1GB Nvidia Quadro FX 3800M graphics ; Integrated screen calibrator ; Integrated WACOM tablet ; Lenovo ThinkVantage Technologies

Very expensive ; Very heavy ; Poor battery life
