This is dreadful news, if true. I also absolutely must have the vertical space. Fortunately my W701 is only a year old and the market may change again by the time I'm ready to replace it, but just out of curiosity, has anyone compared the Lenovo W7xx's to the Dell M6500's? I switched from Dell lapto...

Thank you all for your help. I also called Lenovo support for advice and spoke to a few friends. The responses are all over the map, but here's my take on it: The W510 seems to run without too much heat until we do something computationally intense. In my son's case that means video games.

In the last two months I've bought two laptops, a W701 for myself and a W510 for my son. My W701 is always cool to the touch. Keeping it on my lap for hours is completely comfortable and even the air coming out the vent isn't all that hot. It's the coolest laptop I've ever owned. Last week my son's ...

I've been using Brenthaven bags for years and like the protective sleeves, but my W701 will now only fit in the bag if I remove the sleeve. www.tombihn.com has something called a `brain cell' which comes in a size big enough and looks like it...

How well should the Drive Bay Adapter III fit in a W701? It seems about 2 or 3 mm smaller than the DVD drive and leaves that much gap when it is in place. It seems to work fine, but it seems weird to have that opening in the case.

I'm following this thread with great interest. I just got the shipping notice on my W701 and I'm pretty sure it won't fit my bag. I'm waiting to see how you solve this. :) Did you check ebags.com? You can enter your laptop brand/model on the laptop page and it will show you all they have that will f...
