Anyone remember this baby? http://www.displayblog.com/2008/12/18/lenovo-thinkpad-w700ds-17-and-106-in-one-notebook-pc/ Built-in Wacom tablet and extendable second screen. Shweet.

i'm going to assume that the OP or anyone else interested already has made the decision that they want/need a portable workstation class laptop. and they are going to use it to do the same work you would do on a normal workstation. so no arguing about 12-...-vs-...-17 etc. one point tho, since about the geforce9 gtx mobile…
