Lenovo launches ThinkPad W700 Mobile Workstation in India
Bangalore: Lenovo has announced the launch of ThinkPad W700, a 17-inch widescreen mobile workstation engineered to deliver unparalleled performance to data and graphics-intensive user environments. The ThinkPad W700 incorporates the industry's first built-in digitizer and color calibrator in a mobile workstation and combines these innovations with first-in-market technologies such as new NVIDIA Quadro FX mobile graphics. Lenovo has collaborated with Intel have collaborated for taking customer driven innovation to new heights by integrating a color calibrator and digitizer into the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation. Ideally designed for digital content creators and users, the mobile workstation's digitizer helps one to 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 can now gain from outstanding quad-core processor performance and true color replication that is critical for realistic digital creations and workflow efficiencies. Keeping Lenovo's environmental commitments in line, the ThinkPad W700 meets and exceeds criteria for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy Star 5.0 program for computers, which takes effect in July 2009. Some of ThinkPad W700 features include: - Supporting the latest Intel processor technologies, the ThinkPad W700 can be configured with up to 8 GB of memory - Lenovo also offers models with Intel vPro technology for complete manageability. - The mobile workstation can be equipped with dual internal hard drives with RAID configurations, including solid state drive storage. - Graphics processors – NVIDIA Quadro FX 2700M and 3700M Open GL with up to 1 GB of dedicated video memory for exceptional graphics performance. - Includes WiFi wireless connectivity. Users can connect to other devices wirelessly using Bluetooth and ultra wideband technology. Models supporting WiMAX will be available later this year. - Comes with optional 400-nit WUXGA display that provides up to twice the brightness of earlier ThinkPad mobile workstation models and the 72 percent wide colour gamut provides more than 50 percent greater colour intensity. - External connectivity rendered by Dual Link DVI, Display Port and VGA. - A 7-in-1 multi-card reader and five USB ports give users flexibility in transferring and accessing digital content. Additionally, the workstation comes with an optional compact flash reader and Blu-ray DVD burner/ player - The ThinkPad W700 also features BIOS/ port disablement and an optional fingerprint reader, a smartcard reader and hard drives with full-disk encryption.
