LAS VEGAS -- Lenovo's dual-screen ThinkPad w700ds, which was announced yesterday ahead of CES 2009, is the plus size model of the mobile computing world. The 11-pound notebook is much fuller compared to its skinnier, anorexic peers thanks to the pop-out second screen.

As this picture from the event floor shows, the $3600 ThinkPad has a 17-inch primary screen and a 10.6-inch secondary screen that slides out to the right.

The notebook is perfect for business users who prefer dual monitors, says Lenovo. But isn't it too clunky to be a "mobile" workstation?
