    Hello guys, got a T520 with i7-2670QM.
    What charger would work better on it?
    e.g. 90w or 135w?

    I don't think the t520 ever came with a quad core?

    I'm thinking to be safe use the 135w. You could hook it up to a kill a watt and measure how much it uses at full load, while also charging. You'd know how many watts you'd need. With these things I like to stay on the safe side.

    I believe Lenovo offered it as a CTO option for a little while when the T520 was released, but dropped it not too long after so the W520 could have them exclusively. The quad cores are in the parts list for the T520.
