    Hi,

    I've been looking at the new SL400 and it seems like a sweet machine for a good price. I'd like to save money by sticking with the IGP. However, every review I could find uses a unit with the NVIDIA Geforce 9300 discrete graphics. Does anybody know of a review of the SL400 with the X4500 Graphics?

    Come to think of it, does anybody know of a review of any laptop where the actual review unit has the X4500 graphics card?

    Regards,

    Hi All,

    Perhaps I should have titled this post 'The greatness of the T400' and I would have gotten a reply or two.

    I did find a review of the Thinkpad R500 at

    http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-r500.aspx

    It has the X4500 graphics and obtained a 3DMARK06 score of 1037. However the review went on to say it would not run world of warcraft, which is not a very demanding game. Since I'd like to play WoW on my laptop, this is most disappointing.
