I've read'n print them, the P70 or an eventual T70 without the GPU but the fast PCIe storage will be my next baby.
Wait for the thermal specs .

You mean that after disabling the trackpad the thin red lines on the t-pad are still active ?

Re: W540 Leaked?

I never had a laptop with the keyboard and touchpad shifted to the left, so I don't know how that would be in one's lap, but I suspect it is not as good, a deal breaker, I don't know.

Re: why no 16:10 screens?

The last "professional" laptop offered by Lenovo was the W700 series, and that series had 1920x1200 pix (16:10) screens, I have a W701 and it's a great piece of work. As others have mentioned, the race to the bottom of the quality poll is why you don't see 16:10's anymore. You're so right that I ke...

Thanks for the info Wolfman I will take your advice. This is what's great about this site.

John The W 530 has a raid option, it can be useful for heavy pics :)
