BANGALORE, INDIA: Lenovo today announced the debut of ThinkPad W700, the first-ever 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 colour calibrator in a mobile workstation and combines these innovations with first-in-market technologies such as new NVIDIA Quadro FX mobile graphics.

The workstation supports the upcoming Intel mobile quad core processor, thus benefitting users with the highest level of mobile workstation, power and performance. In line with Lenovo’s environmental commitments, 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.
