2000 is twice as much as 1000.

The memory and core speeds are currently unknown (unless someone can post the picture of both the 2000m and the 1000m) but the 2000m has twice the number of pipelines (196). The only major downside of these graphics card is the bottleneck for gaming. The 128 bus width would limit the gaming potential of these machine.

NVIDIA Quadro 2000M - Notebookcheck.net Tech has more information

I'm sure the 2000m will be more than enough for casual gaming though.

The powerbrick doesn't look much larger than the 120W brick that came with my ENVY.

Is it equipped with the 2000m? If so can you give 3dmark06 a run?

I'd like to see this too. I'm about *this* close to buying one

Hi,

I'm astonished to see how many people are Thinkpad crazy...

As soon as the first reviews are out I'm going to order mine (unless they bring up something undesirable about the W520).
The only thing thats bothering me is the DDR3 ram and the 128bit Interface. I mean what with Optimus, who cares how much power is consumed while running on AC...

But the W520 seems nevertheless to be an uberpowerhouse!!! I've been waiting for month now.. In december I almost bought the W510, but then I heard about sandy bridge.. a bullet dodged right there.. For all of january and february I have been checking the Lenovo homepage daily.

Same here. Ordered on 3/30 with estimated shipping date 4/11. Customized as well. I was hoping for an early shipment but I am now resigned to 4/11
