    Did I just order a T500 without any graphics processor?

    This is what Lenovo sent me as an order confirmation. Am I missing something or is there no graphics processor of any type on this machine? What will they do?

    I had it in my saved cart with the ATI GLV5700 graphics card option. Very bizarre.

    well im confused that you can configure a t500 with a GLV5700. this is essentially then a w500 or am i missing something? what else is the difference between t and w?

    The video card used is different. The W series is designed to be a workstation replacement while the T series has lower power options such as the P series CPUs.
