Any info on E6X20 Sandy Bridge based latitudes?

    Because the markets realized, hey if we slap an HD sticker on it people will think it's HD and moved to 1368x768 screens. It's also cheaper to manufacturer horrible 16:9 screens. 1368x768 isn't bad on 13.3" but any larger and it's gross. You lose so much real estate by going to 16:9

    Does anyone know what optional graphics it's going to get?
    The benchmarks I saw on Notebook / Laptop Reviews and News - Notebookcheck.net put the Sandy Bridge Intel HD Graphics 3000 just above the NVS Quadro 3100M (which is in the current E6510).
    If you don't need the Precision workstation class graphics is it even worth getting discrete graphics anymore in something like a Latitude?

    The NVS 3100m will do considerably better in games then the Intel HD 3000 because the GPU/CPU on the sandy bridge overclocks temporarily (14 seconds~) which gave high synthetic benchmarks for the CPU/GPU on the sandy bridge platform.

    In games the NVS 3100m performs considerably better. In real world scenarios it too will perform better.
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 - Notebookcheck.net Tech
    NVIDIA Quadro NVS 3100M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

    Check the games list at the bottom.

    Specs showing the E6220 to be a Lenovo X220 competitor. Yay! Dell are back in the ultraportable market.
