T420s Drive and Grahics options?

[jgrjr]

I was reviewing some of the options on the T420s order site.

You do not seem to be able to select a boot SSD and a HDD. I thought that was the point of the Lenovo Enhanced experience?

The only Graphics selection available seems to be Intel, I thought NVIDIA Optimus was going to be available on the T420s?

Anyone have some insight into drive and graphics options for the T420s order page?

I called and asked about the Optimus on the T420s and the sales woman said it would be coming out April 19th. I will probably do my own SSD option and so don't know about your other question.

Enhanced Experience refers to the tweaks made to the core Windows operating system.
RapidDrive technology refers to the extra SSD installed in order to improve boot and program launch times.

I guess my question remains? Why no two drive SSD-HDD options on the T420s order site? Isn't RapidDrive one of the main features of the new T420s? Does anyone know why there are no two drive options?

I could implement my own SSD but I am worried there is some implementation problem or Lenovo would be offering it themselves. There is another thread on here where someone is adding an SSD drive to a T420.

There seems to be no problem adding an SSD. Why insn't Lenovo offering this option yet?

Seems like they're rolling out a few features at a time, so you'll probably have to wait a bit more.

RapidBoot involves an SSD, with an optional traditional HDD installed. The key here is the SSD, not the SSD+HDD combo.

"With optional Lenovo RapidDrive technology available on certain models, some of our PCs feature an SSD (solid state drive) instead of, or in addition to, a traditional hard drive."
