Hey folks...I think I'm going to get the W700 after all. It gave me an option as to whether I wanted ATI or nVidia somewhere. I forget if it was on Lenovo.com. So if given the choice, what would you select, and why??
Lenovo switched from ATI to nVidia for the T61/p series, then back to ATI, except for the W700??
What say you, folks??

I'd say you don't get the choice. Either take nVidia or leave it.

AFAIK, there is no ATI for W700.

Somehow I always preferred nVidia on my desktops, and ATi on my laptops. The plagued nVidia GeForce 8M series did not seem to help my faith in the company, and I am sure it is one of the main reasons why most manufacturers, Lenovo included, switched back to ATi for Montevina.
With that said, I am sure the nVidia chip on the W700 is a solid one, and one cannot assume that it will have any problems, just because the previous line had. And considering that, as basketb said, you don't have a choice - I say go for it and don't bother yourself with hypothetical questions of which one is better.
