Lenovo announced the introduction of a new member for its ThinkPad W700 series, under the name of ThinkPad W700ds.

The new device presents many of its predecessors’ features, adding a secondary 10.6" display that provides extra desktop space for mobile professionals. The 400-nit WUXGA 10.6" display is accessible as a slide-out from the primary's display's housing, and features a 72 percent wide color gamut.

"The ThinkPad W700ds dual screen mobile workstation challenged our international development team to engineer a notebook to fit the way workstation users work - in the office and on the road," explained Mr. Mark Cohen, Lenovo's vice president of the Notebook Business Unit. He also added that "Bringing this level of innovation to the most extreme PC users required continually balancing size and functionality with keeping the PC cool and quiet. This mobile workstation is the result of where Lenovo innovation and performance intersect."

The ThinkPad W700ds weighs about 11 pounds and the price list starts at $3,663. It is already available for orders on the company’s official Web site, Lenovo.com.

A detailed presentation is prepared for this week’s Consumer Electronics Show, which will take place in Las Vegas from January 8 to January 11. Many companies announced new releases and demonstrations during the event’s three days, which will be rather entertaining.

More details about Lenovo’s products and also the other releases will be presented later this week, as the CES opens its gates.
