    Hi!
    So I'm planning on buying a T500 at the end of this year. Because in my country (Estonia, don't excpet for a lot of people to know it) the Thinkpad's are waay too pricey, I'm planning on ordering it from Germany. The shop said that part of the model no. (a 4-digit no.) would show if the laptop has IWS. And the Lenovo site has a place to check the part of the model no. wich determines it.
    So far all the preconfigured Thinkpad's I've found in shops do not have IWS. So do pre-configured Thinkpads even come with IWS or not, or is there a chance that Lenovo site is not yet fully updated with these numbers? Or is it a possibility that when something happens (fingers crossed) that if I take it to my local Thinkpad service they might not notice or check if this exact model has IWS?
