Seems to be easy to upgrade the RAM!

Here's Lenovo's video: Service Videos

will the warranty be void if we manually add ram?

Nope, you wont void the warranty. That is considered a customer replacable unit part.

thanks a lot

I have a 8GB kit (2x4GB) PC3-10600 (Samsung) for sale, used less than one month. Anyone interested can PM me.

Anyone saw the newly announced T430u? Ultrabook with discrete graphics, it's beautiful

Lenovo's ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook targets the business set with discrete graphics and 1TB in storage, arrives in Q3 for $849 -- Engadget

Looks good. How's the battery and weight?

 

[Azrielsc]

Woah... now this is what the T420s is supposed to be! 14" of super slim goodness!

I can spy 2x USB3.0, 1x HDMI, microphone, 1 SD slot (finally for Lenovo ultrabooks, particularly the U-series), web camera and no fingerprint reader.

I wonder why is it still 1366 x 768 on a 14" screen though. Too bad, they have gone with the chiclet keyboard instead of the famous Thinkpad keyboard.

Fingerprint reader i think is on the right hand side. The place where the speakers are for the current T series.

I might have seen it wrongly though.

 

[lemonn]

Looks like a fingerprint reader to me.

 

[Azrielsc]

Didn't spot the FPR! Thanks guys!

I think the 2 major dealbreakers for me would be the screen & the keyboard. Didn't like the X1 because of these 2 cons but will wait to it comes out to decide!
