    Hi,

    Looking for a W520 with following specs:

    -2720qm
    -2000m
    -1080p display

    The rest I upgrade myself.

    Is it better to buy from lenovo directly or go with a vendor?

    Thx.

    Are you going to purchase it in the states or in Shanghai China?

    States will be the cheapest especially during special sale events, in Shanghai you would probably have to pay at least 40 to 60% premium.
