W530 Unclear options - color sensor and mobile broadband

When customizing a purchase at the Lenovo site, at least two of the options are unclear.

1. Color Sensor

The only two options are no color sensor or no color sensor with a bezel -- that's probably just a site-writing error. But they also give no particularly useful information about the type of color sensor, its configuration on the machine, how it works, etc.

2. Mobile Broadband.

There is no mention on that option page as to what the W530 offers in the way of 4G access. Anything less than 4G is obsolete at this point.

Any useful information on these issues would be appreciated.

The data sheet for the W530 mentions this for WWAN:
Gobi 3K 14.4Mbps/HSPA + /EVDO
HSPA + 21Mbps (Half Size MC)
Not exactly sure what that is, but it doesn't specifically mention 4G like the other models. I would give them a few days on the color sensor. This seems to happen all the time with their website. Or I suppose if you're trying to order you could order by phone. Then you could haggle with 'em too. :P
