StinkPad Now with Dual Monitors

From the Dumb & Doomed pile: Lenovo has released a new model of its popular ThinkPad series, the W700ds.  The “ds” stands for “dual screen.”  That’s right, the LAPTOP has two monitors: a 17″ primary and 10.6″ secodary that slides out from behind the primary.  The whole mess weights 11 pounds.  Peep Computer World’s article for more info.  Am I the only one shouting WTF at this???

Big enough to include the number pad.  Dumb.

I attach a 22″ monitor to my MacBook when working at my desk.  Having two monitors is awesome, helps manage applications and workflow.  But that’s the luxury of working at a desk.  When mobile, my laptop display is plenty, and Spaces (or other virtual desktop managers) helps  arrange apps.  And mobility demands a lightweight machine.  I was always impressed by IBM & Lenovo’s ability to keep previous models of the ThinkPad lean, but this…this just makes me embarrassed for them.
