Lenovo apparently wants to replace your entire computer set up with the new ThinkPad W700.  The laptop is the first ever to have a built in Wacom tablet.  While the tablet itself may not be very large, the laptop certainly is, sporting a 17” screen complete with a full size keyboard including a number pad.

The ThinkPad W700 seems to be marketed towards photographers and heavy photoshop users more than anyone else.  It has an ultra bright screen (400 nit compared to 300 nit of the highest of most modern computer screens) and “an auto color-calibration sensor,” allowing for easy color correction.  Looking at the rest of the specs, however, the laptop can be for almost anyone willing to pay nearly $3,000 for the standard model.  The options for multiple RAID configured hard drives (even SSDs), 8GB of RAM, a 3.0 GHz Core 2 Extreme quad core processor, and 1GB NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700M graphics card are all available.

Oh yeah, it also has an optional Blu-Ray drive.  With specs that crazy, a tablet, full keyboard, 7-in-1 card reader, optional Compact Flash reader, and 5 USB ports.  I wouldn’t want to see the price of the ThinkPad W700 with all features maxed out, though I’m sure it’d be worth it.  The third degree burns on my lap from using it, however, might not be worth it.

The ThinkPad W700 will be available in September.
