[sandis52]

Secondary display is not so big as in this stupid 3D video. My impress is busted. Liars

[kowalalambo]

this is my dream laptop. I've been always using Thinkpads, and one time I dreamed about a second screen on the same laptop... Then I found this, OMG...

[ninjafishaple]

yeah only 7 560€ ;D

[AndreaFranchitti]

this laptop rules over all kinds of computer

built-in graphics tablet is very useful to draw mind maps, this ThinkPad run 101% no problem with Linux ?

[knightvin0622]

[jigglemaster7]

[Unit88888888]

[TodaysRapSucks]

damn, i'm selling my hoop-ride and getting one of these. Bus pass here I come!

[TheRealHero1]

damn this thing is a beast

1 more thing: If I use the machine with the display turned all the way up (400 nits) I get right at 2 hrs of life.When I need to extend the life I will run the brightness at 1/2 (200 nits which is about the same as full bright on a normal machine!)... in this mode I can get 3.5 hrs from the machine (doing email, powerpoint, running on WLAN). I've never tried to run the CPU/GPU at full speed with the battery.. in this mode I would expect 1.5 hrs of life but I think this is a very rare.

I don't mean to be rude, but how come you engineers/designers at Lenovo can't make a seamless laptop? Something like that of an Apple product.

[TodaysRapSucks]

because they're better than Apple. They (lenovo) actually sell a real product and don't rely on marketing and "cool" design to sell an overpriced machine. Unlike you, they don't care about status or if they cute mac matches their purse.

[mandolinroad]

@TodaysRapSucks I like Lenovo because they make quality products. Quality products from a physical point of view. Which is not very common, I'm sad to say. However, so does Apple. You can like or dislike their design but having owned a Macbook Air (for example) for 2+ years I can testify that there is not a single laptop out there with a build quality to match. It's just stunning. That quality is what I paid for when I bought it.

[lovetoeatallthefood]

@mandolinroad - I agree that Apple makes some nice laptops, but IMO Lenovo has an edge in 2 areas. First, the keyboard; Apple's keyboards have never held a candle to Thinkpads'. Second, Lenovo actually makes things like RAM, the hard drive, etc, easy to get at.

And the Air nice kit, but better build quality than Thinkpads? Maybe compared to some of the lower-end laptops Lenovo makes, but against a comparable machine (E.g. an x301/x201), the Lenovo is probably going to come out on top.

[albedoshader]

@TodaysRapSucks: The "dated" built like a tank look is a trademark, just like the apple. At least that's what I and my engineering colleagues feel. Fruit doesn't go with mechanical engineers ;) We like it the Lenovo way ;)

But joke aside, I also think Lenovo could make the look more appealing, but on the other side - never change a working concept. :)

What is your wireless card? I got a linksys dual band N wireless card Express card. The wireless card installed into the motherboard of the lenovo w700 is the atheros 11b/g wireless card. Should there be any performance difference between a wireless card that is in express card slot and one that is built into the motherboard?

[LenovoVision]

I believe the battery life is around 2 hours depending on usage. I'm almost suprised it even comes with a batter based on the demands that are place on this system. Not only do we give you a battery, it wil approach the 2 hour mark give or take.

[tp88416]

It's useful.. but it has 11 kilo weight . Is it convenient to carry around?

[st3313rs]

if you had a backpack it would be okay but without a carrying case it would be difficult.

[ArmandoXIII]

it's 5 kilos, not 11

[ikev0423]

It's CF Card Reader is stuffed. Set at 1MB/s read or write! I cannot overcome this problem... and I did some research that it seems to be a problem at its PCB in regards to the CF card reader... what a pitty...
