Lenovo is one of the brands that always presents the world’s best Laptops full of many extraordinary features, and their latest Lenovo ThinkPad W700 computer is not an exception. One of its remarkable features is a slide out screen that you can pull out from the side and tilt it forward or backward. This is a feature you don’t see often in laptops, and you can’t help but love it.
The Lenovo ThinkPad W700 is a monster of a workstation. To review it would be trying to disrespect it. But a job to be performed has to be performed.
Here we present a review of Lenovo ThinkPad W700.
Design
The clean lines and black matte finish on this biggie immediately reminds one of the Lenovo ThinkPad range of computers. Though quite huge at 16.1″”x12.2″”x1.6″” and 8.3 pounds, it is quite an apt replacement for desktop computers. Its power brick is another monster we have come across weighing at around 1.8 pounds.
It has a huge keyboard with even a separate numerical keypad.
Display
With a wide gamut of colors on its huge 16″” inch screen, the display is simply said, fantabulous. The viewing angles are also pretty great. A slide-out 10.2-inch LED screen will provide an extra screen estate for word processing, text messaging, or whatever you didn’t have space enough to do on your laptop screen before.
Ports, slots and security
The Pc has 5 USB ports, a FireWire port, Express Card/34/54 and PCI express slots, a 7 in 1 card reader, Ethernet and modem jacks. It also comes in with a DVI port, a VGA port and a display port connection in place of a HDMI port. A finger prints reader and Lenovo’s ThinkVantage Client Security Password Manager utility are some of the security features that this beast offers.
Performance
With a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a generous 4 GB of memory, the pad churns out excellent performance.
Conclusion
The Lenovo ThinkPad W700 is a very powerful device. Though a bit on the bulkier side, it is a good thing to get hold of.
Lenovo ThinkPad R61
The Lenovo ThinkPad R61 is trim, slim laptop aimed at the for business crowd. It comes with great features like a fingerprint reader to give you extra security and a keyboard that lights up for those hunt and peck sessions in the dark (or if you just want to see those keys you never really hit). It’s 14.1″ wide and comes in at just 5.8 pounds. The keyboard has a touch pad and an eraser head nub, which is key for more precise mouse browsing (it’s still not as easy as a mouse, of course, but it’ll do).
The laptop comes with a dual layer DVD drive, a battery with more lasting power than is typical, and dedicated backwards and forwards keys for browsing the internet (another nod to the sometimes frustrating experience of browsing the web with a laptop touchpad). The laptop is fairly powerful too. It comes with a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo T7500 processor, 1GB of ram (expandable to 4GB), three USB ports, a mini-FireWire port, PC Card and ExpressCard slots, and more.

Lenovo IdeaPad U110: First Thoughts
Lenovo continues to do remarkable things with its IdeaPad lineup of laptops. At one time they were known or the ThinkPad collection but times change and they’re moving to the next generation. There are several versions of the IdeaPad to choose from but the latest in the collection is the U110 series. The 110s are at the higher end of their products with a base price of $1,899. They’re currently running a sale where you can get them for $1500 so if you’re in the market now is the time to jump on it and get a new computer.
The IdeaPad U110 is sleekly designed and slender. It comes in red and black and can be customized to your needs, although the basic settings are terrific. You get a new generation Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 processor as the base and it can handle anything you throw at it. The display is 11″ (if you need something bigger others in the IdeaPad series offer it). The graphics chip is onboard Intel X3100 and puts out great video for you. There’s an integrated webcam accompanied with VeriFace application, a 2 button touchpad for navigation, a 120 GB hard drive, an integrated network card, and VGA out port for outputting your laptop to your external monitor.
An Introduction to Lenovo Constant Connect
The Lenovo Constant Connect is an innovative product that has been in development for over two years and has just been introduced by Lenovo. It is essentially a 54mm Express card that packs a built in Bluetooth radio, having a range of round about 30 feet, and also 500 MB of storage facility. It has been especially designed for travelers who find it extremely difficult to access corporate e-mails while on the road. Travelers can now effectively manage their corporate e-mails via Blackberry.
The Lenovo Constant Connect has been developed in order to help ThinkPad laptop users in synchronizing their corporate e-mail between their notebooks and smartphones via Bluetooth. The card works even if the laptop is powered off and allows you to access your email inbox in as little as eight seconds!
Its main aim is to simplify management of corporate e-mail for people on the go. It also aims to reduce the need to pay for often expensive Wi-Fi hot spots. It empowers users to get, write and then send e-mails using your laptop only by using your BlackBerry’s wireless connection.
The card will basically work with all Intel Montevina based ThinkPad and all Blackberry’s running RIM OS v4.2 or higher up, and you’re obviously going to need a free ExpressCard slot on your computer. Constant Connect can be purchased anywhere online across the world for around $150. It also comes bundled with a new Lenovo ThinkPad via Lenovo or any of its ever so increasing and good business partners.
The Lenovo Constant Connect in my view is an excellent and high quality product from the world’s largest computer maker. Easy connectivity through Bluetooth will ultimately become its highest selling points. All frequent road travelers must immediately go for this one.
