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.
