    Are there any news regarding a successor of the 8510p?
    I would like to buy one, but the GPU is a bit weak, especially compared to the Lenovo T500, my other chocie! I don't need to take a decision now, so I wonder if it worth to wait for HP or to get a T500?

    look at the 8530-w , in the same price range as t-500 , and has better gpu . Ipriced a t-500 and it came out ove $2500.00 without the 3 year next business day on site warranty like the HP 8530-w . the HP wins in my books .

    Should also stress that the 8530w is a far more durable notebook than the T500. It doesn't scratch unlike the T400 and T500 we have which already have their rubber finishing peeling off. Lenovo's finishing is ridiculously cheap.
