Lenovo announced a new model of its ThinkPad W700ds mobile workstation. ThinkPad ThinkPad offers two displays, with a secondary, 10.6-inch screen housed inside the main 17-inch display. Lenovo is also adding the option of using an Intel Core 2 Quad processor with the ThinkPad W700ds instead of the high-end Intel Core 2 Extreme chip.

In August, Lenovo launched the original W700 workstation with a single, 17-inch display and the company is planning to market both versions of its mobile workstation to professional photographers, graphic artists and others working in CAD fields.

In addition to the secondary screen, Lenovo is offering users the option of ordering the ThinkPad W700ds with a less expensive Intel Core 2 Quad processor running at 2.26GHz and built on the newer 45-nanometer manufacturing process. When the original ThinkPad W700 came out earlier in 2008, Lenovo only offered the mobile workstation with an Intel Core 2 Extreme X9300 chip.

While the starting price of the Lenovo ThinkPad W700 is currently about $2,500, the second display will add about $500 to the base cost. An official starting price has not been set.

The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds offers the same type of features found in the original W700, including an Nvidia Quadro FX 3700M graphics processor, 8GB of DDR3 RAM and dual integrated hard disk drives that can be configured in a RAID array. The ThinkPad W700 also features three video ports that support dual-link DVI (Digital Video Interactive), Display Port and VGA, which allows for multiple displays when using a docking station.

The Lenovo W700ds supports Windows XP and Vista and it will support Windows 7 in the future. Lenovo also supports several Linux operating systems.
