    haha yes of course. I am not buying a T410 but was curious what this option was. I seem to be addicted to the lenovo cusomization pages so I tend to noticed any new variations.

    I only see Intel HD as my option, no nvidia at all.

    So "SG" wasn't "Switchable Graphics" but "Single Graphics"? Haha, I doubt they dare to silently introduce switchable graphics. Existing T410 users that hoped for that feature would run amok.

    dg might mean discrete graphic card. I wonder why won't Lenovo offer 5650 on their Thinkpad line.

    because the 5650 was not available yet when the thinkpad calpella update was being designed/released
    the nvidia option was
    so, lenovo signed the supply contract with nvidia, not ati

    I really like the T510 screen and build quality, I want I better screen and video card. It's too bad that lenovo decide to go with Nvida, I wait and see when Macbook Pro refreshes and hopes that they have the ati option, but this also isn't likely.

    Maybe Lenovo would put ATI 5650 on their Edge model.
