The W700 is powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core mobile processor that runs at a frequency of 2.53GHz and includes 12M bytes of L2 cache. It supports up to 8G bytes of RAM.
The laptop comes with a 17-inch screen that displays video at a 1920-by-1200 pixel resolution, higher than a high-definition display of 1920 by 1080 pixels and comes with an Nvidia Quadro FX graphics card.
