    So looks like the only change is the CPU and no other updates like the graphics chipset

    it's not like they could as the current card in their computers are already the most powerful one (at least i know the one for the t61p is)

    The GPU is not up to Lenovo, it's up to Nvidia or ATI, unless Lenovo will make a 17'' model ( which I hope !). Otherwise, you gotta wait. :D
