ThinkPad Edge S430 Lounge

regarding thickness indeed its much smaller, basically 0.4'' however its also 1.1'' larger in terms of width.

the e320 came with a 6630m, the e420s as well, just not in the US.

Any ideas if they will allow one to select spanish keyboard layout when purchasing in the US/Canada or if this chicklet will be interchangeable?

The extra < > | key next to the left shift key is what I'm after.

dunno, information should get more intensive when we close to the next month

this seems like (almost) the perfect laptop for me.

i've been plugging away on a 1st gen dell xps m1330 (summer 2007) for almost 5 years now, so any new laptop will be a huge upgrade to me, but i want my next laptop to last just as long.

-14" form factor is slightly big for my liking, but they've kept the weight down.
-chicklet keyboard is the future, so i wont complain.
-HD+ screen is a godsend
-hd4000 + discrete gpu should mean we're good for 2-3 years of gaming
-thunderbolt eGPU can extend the gaming life beyond 3 years
-that glossy bezel around the screen really pisses me off though.


question about ram - 8gb is just the factory limit, so we'll be able to stick 16gb (2x8gb dimms) in later if we want, right? What about memory clock - all IVB supports 1600mhz standard i think?

[Karamazovmm]

the mem clock is 1600mhz standard on ivy.

nobody like that glossy bezel I hope they change it

If they can get a 35W quad i7 and at least a 640M Kepler for ~1K, I think I can learn to love the bezel.

not realistic if the y480 only comes with a gimped 640m.. more likely its a 630m

Well, hopefully the reports are right about the y480 getting a better card in June.

[Karamazovmm]

Im just going to hope that it packs a non gimped 640m

Me actually too, out of the upcoming 14" notebooks that we know of, this is the only one I would even consider, even with a slightly weaker GPU
