I'm thinking about purchasing a new notebook. Some expensive (double the cost of the well optioned notebook) software now recommends an i7 CPU, lots of RAM and a separate GPU with min of 1 GB of RAM. So I was thinking of something along the lines of a W530 but I wonder if anything from Lenovo has a Thunderbolt port for video and PCIe expansion? I think certain T430s models (i7) do but I don't see it for a W530. Anyone know for sure? Or better, if a W series with Thunderbolt will appear soon?
Some coworkers are quite happy with MacBooks with an Apple thunderbolt display (video, Firewire, USB, and gigabit ethernet in the display). However the MacBooks don't have a TPM chip and we are getting pressure to use an encrypted filesystem (Bitlocker for example) on Windows 7 Enterprise and that seems easier on a notebook with a TMP chip and appropriate bios. Thanks for any advice, pointers, brickbats, …. Stuart _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
