ThinkPad W700 delivers industry’s first built-in digitizer, color calibrator

Lenovo has introduced the ThinkPad W700, a 17-inch wide-screen 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 8GB 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.

“Lenovo has engineered a new breed of mobile workstation with the ThinkPad W700,” said Vicky Agorrilla, country general manager of Lenovo Philippines.

“No other PC manufacturer has a mobile workstation that delivers the sheer power, performance and cutting-edge innovation that Lenovo has packed into the ThinkPad W700. The ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation flat out delivers the command performance our customers demand at the desk as well as in the field,” she added.

According to the IDC, the compound annual growth rate for the worldwide mobile workstation market has been more than 60 percent per year since 2002.

The ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation will be available from September with models starting at P159,200. It is available through Lenovo business partners and www.lenovo.com.

The ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation extends Lenovo’s commitment to workstation users, complementing Lenovo’s W500 mobile workstation and ThinkStation S10 and D10 workstations. As workers in fields such as digital content creation, computer-aided design and manufacturing, digital photography and science fields including the oil and gas industries become increasingly mobile, they are demanding the full-featured performance of a desktop workstation in a mobile workstation.

The ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation takes customer- driven innovation to a new level with an optional built-in palm rest digitizer and color calibrator. Lenovo and Intel collaborated to integrate the color calibrator and digitizer into the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation.

Designed for digital content creators and users, the mobile workstation’s digitizer helps them easily configure an image, either mapping it to the entire screen or to an area defined by the user.

High-performance users, especially digital photographers, will benefit from models with the built-in color calibrator as color continues to play an important role in their work.

The calibrator automatically adjusts the display’s color in up to half the time of many external calibrators and with higher accuracy, resulting in the most accurate, true-to-life images in an integrated package.

Together with the upcoming Intel mobile quad core processor, multimedia designers and animators now have outstanding quad-core processor performance and true color replication that is critical for realistic digital creations and workflow efficiencies.

Supporting the latest Intel processor technologies including the upcoming mobile quad core processor, the mobile workstation can be configured with up to 8GB of memory with an additional 2GB of Intel Turbo Memory.

Lenovo also offers models with Intel vPro technology for complete manageability. The mobile workstation can be equipped with dual internal hard drives, including solid state drive storage.
