T410 and T410s recovery DVDs the same?

Hi,

I have been waiting to order a T410s with NV graphics since the announcement back in January. I live in the UK and unfortunately the T410s is still not listed on the Lenovo website at all, despite a few photos of it scattered around.

I spotted that a UK IT supplier now has a batch of suitable pre-built machines in stock, but they come with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I need 32-bit to be able to use some work related software. I have read that Lenovo will supply, for a fee, recovery DVDs of the other bit version. On checking these parts numbers it seems like the T410 and T410s both have the same parts number for Windows 7 Professional 32-bit recovery DVDs. The reason this matters is that we already have a T410 at work with Windows 7 Professional 32-bit, so it would mean that I should be able to create the DVDs myself if they are identical.

Can anyone please confirm that this is correct? Its not really the cost of ordering new DVDs I am concerned about, more that I want to get my new toy up and running asap and not have to rely on Lenovo UK supplying DVDs for a system they are not even showing on their site.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Loads of views but no replies. I guess no one is sure.

I am going to take the gamble anyway.
