Alas, the W700 covers only 72% of Adobe RGB gamut, so the most intense
colours merge. Still the best of any laptop. Still, probably wider gamut than
any paper/ink combo. You can get desk LCDs with wider colour gamut, but
they run $3k+, e.g. HP LP2475w(ew?).
Still, with a couple of fast HDs (or flash drives!) in Raid 0, 1gb video board,
8gb ram(need 64-bit OS), and quad processors, the W700 is fast, and
Lenovo is sturdy and well supported.
Dell has a big fast laptop "workstation", maximum 16gb ram. Look for
"covet" m6400 in large business section. Comes in red.
Well configured, either probably costs 5x more than your first car...
Peace, tOM
