    Hey guys,

    Does anyone know if this model will ever make it to the U.S.? I am highly tempted by this model mainly for the i7. The i5 version is quick I'm sure, but I really do want the i7 version. Thanks.

    There are some questions in the listing about the exact specs, I would confirm with them.

    I wish I saw that earlier, but I already ordered mine from Amazon US.

    I was looking for this model without touchscreen and with matte display the i7 is a bonus.

    Maybe I sell this one and order from UK.

    So to update this thread - I did order mine from Amazon UK... and it did come pretty quickly. However I decided to send it back ($200USD to go back to the UK yikes!) as it didn't appeal to me as well as I thought that it would. I found the trackpad to be a little... hollow? You could press down to click on the trackpad pretty far. The screen didn't seem to impress me much either. I ended up switching to a T450s.

    Ouch, yes shipping an entire machine from the US to the UK is never cheap and shipping both ways :eek:
