On Lenovo's website. Intel HD 3000 graphics models only. There's also a 10% discount coupon on LogicBuy.

Yay; thanks! I really need a new machine soon for some video editing. In fact, I added that line (..."Late March" can't come soon enough) to my .sig just an hour or two before your post
They're definitely still working on
the page -- at the top, it still links to the 410/510 specs, for example.
I will hold out for the Optimus video (wasn't that a Radio Shack audio brand?), but there are a few interesting tidbits in the configuration...
* both 2720QM (+US$250 relative to 2520M) and 2820QM (+US$450) are available options
* The FHD display is +US$250, but they aren't mentioning its brightness/gamut in the configurator
* No sign of the 80GB Intel Micro SSD on these models
(Still wonder whether that Expresscard slot is version 2.0 which could support full USB 3.0 bandwidth. Lenovo tech says its the same as on the T510, so not version 2.)

tabook still says the FHD is
Code: Select all
15.6" (396mm) FHD (1920x1080) color, anti-glare, LED backlight,
270 nits, 16:9 aspect ratio, 500:1 contrast ratio, 95% Gamut
which is still the same description as the FHD of the T510/W510.

I'm waiting for the T420 with discrete graphic. I wonder when that model will be out?

On Lenovo's forums, someone mentioned a tech saying that there would be more models out on the 29th. FWIW or not. I had hoped it would lead to my not checking the page quite so frequently, but so far no luck
(I also want that mSSD along with a big hard drive)

Well... they've now got my order.
If only the machines shipped from Morrisville... I'd have it today! I actually kinda wondered about that: if I drive over to their campus, could I get one there?
