    One of my hobby is photography and part of digital photography require a decent computer system for picture quality

    I understand that doing photo edit on a laptop isn't exactly a good idea, when the LCD in typical laptop lack color accuracy, etc.... and yes, even after calibrating the monitor...

    The question I am hoping someone from notebook review can answer me is, how about a good external LCD like apple along with a docking station that include a DVI port? Would this setup be just as good as a desktop? Performance aside, I am looking for accuracy of the image being display on the LCD...

    I have a Thinkpad T61 and Lenovo just happen to offer such dock! The question is, how good is the video coming out? is there a video processor within this dock that Lenovo offer?? Anyone know the answer to this?

    This is the dock I am refering: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...-category-id=34851FD360E5473EB9DFEB639312E18E
    Thanks!

    With the Advanced (non-mini) Dock, there is a low-profile PCI-E slot which can be used to fit either the ATI Radeon X1300, HD 2400 XT, or HD 2400 Pro half-height graphics card available on their website.
