Lenovo's ThinkPad W700 is a 17-inch behemoth that's the first notebook ever with a built-in Wacom digitiser. Designed for professional use in industries such as graphic design, photography and CAD, the digital tablet lets you manipulate images in programs like Photoshop without any extra gear. In addition, the 3.6kg notebook features a professional grade, WUXGA screen with 400 nit brightness (it's actually stunning) and an auto colour-calibration sensor that lets you adjust display settings on the fly. Except for the fact it runs Vista, it's like the perfect pro photographer's workstation.

It's one of those things that makes sense, but we'd never tried before. One tablet-happy artist decided to plug in his Wacom tablet into his PS3. The result? It was essentially plug 'n play. While a combination of the PS3's firmware and third party game design mean that it could never be used play 90% of the PS3's library, the tablet worked quite well for cruising around the menus and even fast forwarding and rewinding through media. Plus, it looks way more sophisticated than that DualShock 3. [via PS3 Fanboy]

Wacom, maker of the best graphic tablets available—as our video review of the latest Cintiq points out—says their new technology may be the key in developing perfect tablet computers, like the fabled MacBook Tablet. Their new surface has pressure-sensitive pen input and "pinpoint precision and drift-free" finger touch capability for low-power operation and lower cost for device manufacturers.

It's was exactly a year from the time Axiotron first debuted their touchscreen MacBook at Macworld 2007 to the time we got the first hands-on of it at Macworld 2008, and that year of development time seems to have done the company some good. Not only is this ModBook the touchscreen Mac Apple fans have been looking for, it's got all the components of a MacBook, which means it's not a low-powered, stripped down, gimped version (MacBook Air) that sacrifices performance for the tablet pen sensitivity. And for that, we're thankful.

Did you fall in love with the Wacom tablet ? Are you also not rich enough to afford a $4,500 tablet? I feel your pain. But hey, why drop all that coin on a new one when you can turn your Mac laptop into a tablet in a mere 15 minutes for way less money? Walk with me.

Here's the video review for the new Wacom Cintiq 12WX, a tablet that allows you to draw directly on the screen with extreme precision, great feel and amazing results (even with butter fingers like mine). The Cintiq 12WX is probably the best peripheral I have ever tried. If you are not a professional illustrator or photographer, you may want to get one. If you are pro, however, you will be wondering why have you been waiting for so long for this 12" wonder.

I need one of these, pronto. I can take either the 12-inch 1,280 x 800-pixel Wacom Cintiq 12WX or the 20-inch Wacom Cintiq 20WSX, with it's glorious 1,680 x 1,050 pixels. Sure big is always better, as Russ Meyer would have agreed, but even the smaller model will allow me to speed up my cheapo Photochops by a factor of a lot. Or at least that's what I suppose, because Wacom doesn't allow me to test-drive one for the Giz. Too bad, because the specs look sweet:

Wacom has replaced its old consumer model, Graphire, with a new two-model line called Bamboo and Bamboo Fun. First off, neither one of the new models can recognise that your pen is tilting, change functions depending on what application you're running, or use other non-Bamboo specific drawing pens.

At first glance, the self-explanatory "WACOM" urinals seem like a good idea. Featuring a built-in LCD display, hands free operation, and the romantic musk of blue sterilizing cake, all the elements are present for those special times when a man needs his...relief. But then you notice the monitor is displaying a child's drawing and you begin to worry for society, yourself, the guy who did the Photoshop and the poor souls at Adobe who probably feel like they were part of The Mahatten Project II.
