    The T400 and T410 ONLY have intel video as an option right now and the T410s only has nvidia in its highest config. Are they planning new models or GPU's?


    I was all ready to buy a T410 with nvidia then the nvidia disappeared from the site, but the site still mentions it, but it's not configurable. v.v

    the nvidia option for the t410 will return in time
    this always happens with lenovo
    options come and go as their supply runs out and gets replenished
    the t410 was just released, so there won't be new models or new gpu anytime soon

    I'm able to configure it on the site. When it shows the breakdown with 4 models (t410i, t410, t410 with small business, t410 express), click just the straight t410 (2nd from left) and the NVIDIA is an option for the configuration

    Lenovo rarely updates their line, so if you want a newer GPU, you'll have to wait until most likely next year when Intel releases their new chipset. Even then, don't expect too much more for the GPU since Lenovo will just use the same class of GPU.

    Lenovo rarely update their incumbent line of laptops with new GPU. However, we could be all wrong on this, if this is anything to go by.

    Yeah i find Lenovo to be weird with their GPU's every new line. I find it really weird that they introduce a new line 15.4" (W series) and 17" laptop, yet the W500 which is in the "mobile workstation" category, has a GPU that is actually somewhat worse than the T61p's 570M in performance. Now if only the 570M didn't have that nice little timebomb defect, we could all be happy with T61p's :p

    I don't see that option. For me they all say Intel HD.
