Hi,
I'm about to replace my faulty Lenovo ThinkPad T400s (2808CV / NSDCVMN), and I'm considering both the ThinkPad T510 and the W510.
Unfortunately we aren't able to configure our own setups here in Norway, so I have to go with one of the "default" models.
Funny thing though, is that the better specced T510 and W510 retails for about the same price, featuring this hardware:
T510:
System components
Intel Core i7-620M Processor (2.66GHz, 4MB L3, 1066MHz FSB)
Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64
15.6" HD+ Anti-Glare Display with LED Backlight and WWAN Antenna
NVIDIA NVS 3100m Graphics 512MB DDR3 with Intel Advanced Management Technology
4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
Camera, 2.0 MP
320 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
Multi Recorder Optical Drive (12.7mm)
Express Card Slot & 5 in 1 Card Reader
9 cell Li-Ion Battery
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3X3 AGN)
Integrated Mobile Broadband - Upgradable
W510:
System components
Intel Quad Core Processor i7 820QM (1.73GHz 1066MHz 8MBL3)
Genuine Windows 7 Professional 64
15.6" FHD Display (95% Gamut) with LED Backlight and Multi Touch Screen
NVIDIA NVS 5100m Discrete Graphics 1GB DDR3 with Intel Advanced Management Technology
4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM)
UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad) with Fingerprint Reader
Camera, 2.0 MP
320 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
Multi Recorder Optical Drive (12.7mm)
Express Card Slot & 5 in 1 Card Reader
6 cell Li-Ion Battery
Bluetooth w/ antenna
Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 (3X3 AGN)
Integrated Mobile Broadband (Gobi 2000 3G with GPS)
Is it just me, or does the W510 look superior to the T510?
You get four cores instead of just two, not the mention the higher L3 cache? You also get a much more powerful GPU solutions? And 1920x1080 resolution?
All this for approx the same price here in Norway?
Is there something about the T510 that the W510 supposedly are missing?
Any reasons for NOT going W510?
