Just curious - what was your experience with the quad core processor in the T420? To be honest, I did not use this laptop that much. The best I can tell is that quad core processor is way much faster than dual core one. And Sandy Bridge quad core is good at temp and power control, so the thermal sy...

It wouldn't affect the warranty according to Lenovo's policy, although the processor itself is not under Lenovo's warranty.

You may try Amazon or ebay, and ask the seller to make sure it's genuine Thinkpad part with correct FRU.

The 3rd party website and many sellers on Amazon or ebay sell so-called OEM or COMPATIBLE panel, which may not be an ideal option.

You may buy a 433810U with latest power jack design fitting for 170W adapter, or 433830U.
I bought a 433810U as 90w adapter is portable and fair enough for W520 (65w adapter could not boot up W520).

Don't take the hassle to buy from HK.
It is very easy to upgrade the screen.

only W701 WUXGA is RGB LED

W700 uses CCFL-backlit screen

Thinkpad BGN is even better at signal capturing compared with 6205N according to my experience.
And WIDI/mywifi is pretty lousy at least in my instance.
You don't have to pay extra money for a worse card.

I got my W520, dock, DP-DL-DVI adapters, tried, and -- surprise -- I could run both 2560*1600 screens in full resolution FROM THE DOCK! The result is a sweet 3200*2560 desktop, plus the TP display. This is different from what Lenovo and trustworthy people (in this forum) deemed possible. I didn't n...

Have no idea on it. But you'd better watch out those cheap Panasonic drives, most of which are engineering samples.

smooth trade with sportfreak for the refurb Thinkpad T410

By Hitachi, the model is z5k500.

1. You can try VGA port, but I'm not sure if it supports 2560*1600 resolution.
3. T520 with Nvidia card is equipped with Nvidia Optimus by default, so two GPUs supports two external screens.

One more twist you may find interesting. I'm not a gamer, but I find a high resolution crucial for my work with html, pdf, and doc. After waiting 5 years to replace my T61, I think I’ll finally go for the W520, in spite of the worse horizontal display resolution, sigh (1080 px vs. 1200). Currently,...
