    Or breaking your back if you are not careful, after carrying a 4 kg laptop around in Uni for many years. I am too inclined to carrying a 7 kg load (including the break size power adapter) with me.

    This is a mostly a desktop replacement machine.

    Funny and sad when the reviewers compare the flagship model to mid-range systems. I'd like to see a real comparison - W701ds vs M6500 vs 8740w (fully loaded). That would be really interesting.

    Nice pics BTW!

    Imagine if that secondary screen was an ultry thin SuperAMOLED (found on samsung smartphones), and there was one on each side. That would be spectacular.

    Hopefully Lenovo's partnership with NEC results in an improvement on their cheaper more common 14", 15" displays.
