    I am looking for a high quality 15 inch laptop with the following requirements:

    1) Great high def display
    2) Easily upgradable hard drive and ram
    3) Not too big and bulky (easy to use at Starbucks, B&N etc)

    The last time I checked out the T series I did not see an option for the 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) display but I see it is available now.

    The 2 questions I have are...is this a great display? Are there any reviews of this display someone can point me to? And would you say this is an all around high quality great laptop?

    It's not easy to find a great laptop that is easly upgradable. I'm hoping I found what I am looking for

    I have the T520 w/FHD display. It's incredible and like all Thinkpads, upgrades are a cinch.

    If you're looking for a light 15" with a good display, the Sony S 15" is worth a look. It's probably not as durable, but has a fantastic display and it's 4.4 pounds or about 25% lighter than the T530.
