December 16, 2010 at 17:15ThinkPad W701 - a true mobile workstation can be yours!
Of all Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, the W-series models are perhaps the most unusual. The most powerful processors (quad-core Intel Core i7), productive NVIDIA Quadro graphics, modifications with two hard drives in a RAID array, FullHD screens with full coverage of the Adobe RGB color space, and the price is appropriate. In general - an exclusive laptop for those who really need such performance in a mobile version. Therefore, to conduct a joint with Publish magazineWe chose the prize from the ThinkPad W series of the competition. And we selected one of the most powerful models - the 17-inch Lenovo ThinkPad W701. "Steeper" him - only a unique ThinkPad W701ds laptop with an optional retractable 17-inch screen. ThinkPad W701 is designed for graphics, photo processing, printing and similar tasks. In addition to a display with natural color reproduction, this notebook has a built-in color calibrator and a small WACOM tablet complete with a pen. Finally, a separate card reader for Compact Flash cards is specially designed for photographers. So, within a month and a half, you can participate in the competition held by Lenovo and the editorial board of Publish magazine and become the owner of a professional ThinkPad W701 workstation. Inside - a description of the laptop with the characteristics and conditions for participation in the competition.

ThinkPad W701 provides high performance, and much has been done in it to facilitate the daily routine of a specialist. The presence of a built-in color calibrator, tablet and card reader allows you to not carry additional devices with you. But at the workplace, the laptop can also be connected to an external monitor, and you can connect two displays at once, via the standard DVI-D interface or the DisplayPort connector (or via HDMI via an adapter). Theoretically, such a laptop supports the installation of three hard drives at once, which can be connected to a RAID array, although this configuration uses a single drive.
Until January 25, you will be able to take part in a competition in which this laptop is the main prize. The conditions are simple. In the 12th issue of Publish, this comic strip from TomatDesign was published:
As you can see, there is no last frame in the comic. You are invited to come up with and draw this frame (picture size - 10x15 cm, resolution 300dpi). Entries must be sent to [email protected] with the note “Competition with a comic strip”. No more than three entries may be accepted from one participant. To contact you, please indicate your last name and first name, mailing address and telephone number. The winner will be selected by the jury, which will include representatives from Publish magazine, Lenovo and TomatDesign. In addition to the grand prix, a special prize will be given to the participant whose work will be closest to the original plan of the comic book creators. And five more participants will receive incentive prizes - an annual subscription to the Publish magazine and the catalog “100 Publish Covers”.
Finally, I am pleased to announce that the ThinkPad T410, the prize in the Lenovo Summer Contest, found its owner. Julia, the winner of the contest, captivated Lenovo employees with a detailed description of her computer tasks and was horrified by photos of a previous laptop (let's say, another manufacturer :) with broken loops and a screen that almost separated from the base. In the new ThinkPad T410, such a problem is hardly possible in principle: you can only break the metal hinges of this laptop with a bulldozer. Congratulations!
Today, the Lenovo Vkontakte community has launched yet another contest with four prizes - laptops and netbooks from the IdeaPad and Essential series. On a special sitecontest, which takes place around the world, you are invited to upload your own photo and edit it to your liking and share it with friends. The contest results are summed up every two weeks; IdeaPad S10-3, S10-3s, U165 and Lenovo G560 laptops are waiting for the winners.
