Thunderbolt port in T430s

I read that T430s with Core i7 cpu should carry a thunderbolt port instead of the mDP. But I cannot see it anywhere in Lenovo's website. Is that still true, or they are only offering a mDP option right now?

Thanks.

Hallo,
tabook has information on ports:
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook_WE.pdf
T430s models with i7 and integrated graphics - i.e. Intel HD Graphics 4000 in the processor, but not Optimus - have a Mini DisplayPort / Thunderbolt combo port, switchable in BIOS.

According to tabook, Optimus models also have thunderbolt support, or am I wrong?

Only the i7 with integrated GPU has the Thunderbolt port. I had a T430s i7 with Optimus before and it did not come with Thunderbolt port.
