In recent years, more laptops than desktop computers have been sold around the world as people prefer the benefits of mobility and form-factor. But when it comes to graphics design, these smaller devices have always been limiting and required to carry around a lot of different accessories next to the main computer when you wanted to be mobile: a Wacom tablet, a Huey Stick color calibration device and more.

Well, looks like Lenovo is offering a new laptop aimed specifically at the graphics designers: the ThinkPad W700. In addition to a huge 17-inch display and an Intel Quad Core Extreme CPU, it includes an nVidia Quadro FX 370 graphics chipset with 1GB of video RAM, up to 8 GB of memory and more disk space than you can think of. But these specs would make it a high-end gaming laptop. What makes this one a very interesting solution for graphics designers is that it includes both a Wacom tablet (to the right of the trackpad) as well as an on-board color calibration system. Yes, it gets a little pricy (about $3,000 for the starting price), reason why I don't think I will be able to test one in the near future

Engadget has more information and a gallery with photos of the W700 online.
