Lenovo redefined the ho-hum workstation with an integrated digitizer and color calibrator in the ThinkPad W700; it now looks to shake up the computing world once again with a quad-core version. That’s right, quad-core. This iteration of the W700 is the world’s first notebook to feature Intel’s blazing-fast 2.53-GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme Q9300 mobile processor. This chip specializes in steamrolling through multi-threaded applications (programs designed to utilize multiple cores to enable faster processing) by utilizing four complete execution cores within a single processor. The turbo-charged W700 may require deep wallets with its $4,949 price tag, but with the high cost comes performance that few machines can touch.
