I know what you’re saying “hey, is that a Wacom Tablet there!”.  Well, yes it is.  Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700 is a 17″ marvel that sports a built-in Wacom digitizer.  Dutifully aimed for the graphics industry it would seem it is a good “idea”.  While I am just not too sure about the right palm rest, for me, it is a little “out there” but I could see myself using this too.  Anything that would make me work well with my graphics programs (PhotoShop or CorelDraw) without requiring me to add more to my bag, well is an ace.

While I do not see this model at Lenovo.com yet, the Lenovo ThinkPad W700 will be available just in time for Thanksgiving.  Somewhere within September starting at around US$3,000 for the base model, add more for plus features.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – August 12, 2008: Lenovo today introduced the ThinkPad W700, a 17-inch widescreen mobile workstation engineered with game-changing technologies and innovations to exceed the demands of the most data and graphics-intensive users. Lenovo brings the industry’s first built-in digitizer and color calibrator to a mobile workstation and combines these innovations with first-in-market technologies such as new NVIDIA® Quadro FX mobile graphics and supporting the upcoming Intel® mobile quad core processor. Other features such as optional dual hard drives with RAID configurations, up to 8 GB of high speed DDR3 memory, a range of wireless connectivity options and excellent multimedia capabilities including an optional Blu-ray™ DVD burner/player make the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation the standard-bearer for power and performance in a mobile workstation.
