no discrete graphics on t440?

#1 Post by jmg2 » Thu Apr 03, 2014 12:09 pm

I'm currently running a t420s with NVidia discrete graphics. One (among many, many other) draws to this laptop was the fact that it has discrete graphics-- which means I can drive three external monitors (necessary for my work), and play some recent games at somewhat decent settings (necessary for my sanity).

Anyone know if Lenovo plans on adding discrete graphics to the 440? Is the stock intel graphics capable of driving three monitors (I think the answer is no, only two, but not 100% sure)?

Some European models have discrete graphics but no docking port.

AFAIK, North American models will remain Intel-only.

Yes. Since Haswell, it is.

huh... just noticed that the 440p has discrete graphics... is the "p" noticeably thicker than the non-p?

By about 0.5mm, is it this hard to google?

Well: 0.5mm difference in thickness would be a little bit too minor, wouldn´t it? I think you mean 0.5 cm. :wink:
