The W700ds is a variant of the first model in the W7xx series and was manufactured between January 2009 and June 2010. As a mobile workstation with a 17" display, it is a very large and bulky ThinkPad. It is clearly one of the rarer models with the second removable display and is now very hard to find due to the short production time. The second display is darker than the main display, but is still ideal for toolbars or other applications. Due to its size, two ThinkLights were installed.

It has a full-size keyboard including a dedicated numeric keypad** and, in this case, a Wacom digitizer. A colorimeter for calibrating the screen rounds off the professional creative aspect of the device.
