- ianai 4y agoIt’s labeled W701. Probably from quite a few years ago.
- NikkiA 4y agoFrom about 16 years ago, it also has a slide-out second monitor on the side that was an interesting idea, but effectively useless. Here's an image of one with the monitor slid-out: http://www.tabletsnlaptops.com/laptop-images/lenovo-thinkPad-w701-254158q-1.jpg http://www.tabletsnlaptops.com/laptop-images/lenovo-thinkPad...
- voxadam 4y agoOut of curiosity, what makes the second monitor "effectively useless"?
- larrywright 4y agoIt looks tiny. I would guess that it’s just not enough usable screen real estate.
- Pfiffer 4y agoThats only the DS variant of the W700/W701, some of them are just normal workstations, too.
- voytec 4y agoTwo pairs of physical "mouse" buttons - one for the touchpad and second for trackpoint (red "dot") - look quite unusual. Especially in comparison to the new Z13 model[1] in which Lenovo has ditched buttons-buttons on top of the touchpad in favor of an area of touchpad acting as buttons for both trackpoint and touchpad. My T-series has physical buttons-buttons for the trackpoint on top of the touchpad and bottom area of the touchpad acting as buttons for the touchpad. I haven't tested neither Z13 model (not yet released) nor the old W-series but I think Z-series may be a downgrade. Seriously, the trackpoint/touchbar from MacBooks is the only thing I miss after switching to ThinkPads. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34954787 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34954787
- goosedragons 4y agoLenovo keeps trying to kill the trackpoint. With the T440 they also killed the trackpoint physical buttons but people HATED it so they brought them back for future T series devices. The Z line is their attempt to do it again. I hope it stays contained there.
- Pfiffer 4y agoThe W700/W701 had an embedded Wacom tablet option
- cyrialize 4y agoLooks like a W701 or W701ds. The W701ds had the graphics tablet and pull out screen. Very rare, I wish I had one just for the novelty!
