    I need to verify the chipset that the motherboard have.

    I want to be sure that the chipset is one of those HM75/HM76/HM77 or higher, and not the HM70, since the HM70 does not accept processors like i3/i5/i7 and is limited to celeron or pentium.

    I am asking because other lenovo laptops (i think B590 and G500) have the HM70 or HM77 based on the processor installed, HM70 for Celeron/Pentium and HM77 otherwise.

    Their datasheet have been a bit flaky in the past, and want to see someone's first hand experience.

    Could a moderator please move this thread to this section:
    Lenovo Forum, IBM Thinkpads

    I created this thread here in this section by mistake.

    Thanks.
