Lenovo thinkpad w700 with built in wacom

[wowzat]

Hi,

Has anyone got any experience of using the Lenovo W700 with Zbrush, Max, Maya and Photoshop? I'm particularly interested if the built in wacom is usable on the move for painting textures or zbrush- and if the large size and weight of such a powerful machine makes it unwieldy to carry around.

This looks really promising. I am considering a Wacom Cintiq 12WX and I thought this was the answer I'd been looking for.

Can't find any review that suggests the integrated Wacom is pressure-sensitive.

Mean spec, though.

the video provided on the page for the Lenovo W700ds mobile workstation states - pressure sensitive with pen (1024 levels)-

the wacom digitizer is 128mm wide & 80mm high. much smaller than the smallest tablet form wacom I guess.

it is probably ok for small work on the go, but a bigger tablet would be more ergonomic anyway.
