Continue reading Lenovo Goes Insane: ThinkPad W700ds
Continue reading iCap MP3 Rocks Your Head This thing just plain rawks. Too bad its not a product in planning. Its the product of John Maushammer’s imagination and skill with electronics. He’s the same guy who created the Pong watch, but he wasn’t entirely satisfied with its lack of fun factor. It could either be perfect, so you’d never beat it, or he [...] I’m no Aussie. I’m a dirty American, but I know good TV fare when I see it. That’s why I’m a petrolhead and religiously watch BBC’s brilliant Top Gear (and not the squinchy, chopped-up BBC Americker edition). Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are all pedigreed automotive journalists, and they’re blighting mad to boot. Every episode is bloody brilliant, so its no wonder the Beeb wanted to license it out. The first word I heard of it getting outside of the UK was the US version. I was not thrilled. I was, however, heartened to hear of an Aussie version, where being an Aussie might have granted me better insight into their humor and the why’s behind the Down Under version of Top Gear (TGA). I get the original Top Gear’s humor and presence like I get Monty Python’s Flying Circus. TGA seems more like a combination of red light drag races, bar-b-que and beer chats, front lawn donuts, and bathroom humor contests. The hosts, Charlie Cox, a former race car driver with BTCC experience from the 90′s, Steve Pizzati, a race driver with an unclear past in motorsports and whom teaches blokes to squirt in Porsches at some school somewhere, and Warren Brown, a cartoonist who does a TV series on Australia’s storied past.

Lenovo has finally answered a question I have serious doubts nobody was asking: How can I get more than one display on my laptop? To solve this problem, Lenovo dug deep into its engineer corp and they delivered the ThinkPad W700ds. This is no cool portable game machine, though. Its a monster of a lappy which promises to damage yours spleen if you deign to carry it in a shoulder bag. It weighs 11 pounds and is side enough to have a full keyboard and a numeric keypad. Pricing is set at US$3,600, and for that you get the 17″ main display, the 10.3″ secondary display, a Quad-core CPU, NVIDIA Quadro video, 8GBs of RAM, and nearly 1TB of storage space. Woof. If that wasn’t enough, to the right of the trackpad is an integrated Wacom tablet. What a pig! If you want all of that but don’t need to secondary display, you can opt for the less pricey W700. A larger pic comes after the jump. There’s nothing on the Lenovo site just yet. 
This is seriously mobile gear.
