    So I really like the W520 specs and am ready to buy and join you fellow Lenovo owners. My questions:

    1. Where is the best place to buy, or go about it? Sounds like calling Lenovo and talking to a rep is best. Any other thoughts?

    2. Regarding the power brick, will the 135w work for normal use when traveling or should I plan to lug the 170w around?

    3. Any ac/dc chargers on the market that someone would recommend?

    Thanks in advance for your response.

    1. That would be your best bet for the best price.
    2. The 135W works fine as long as you don't have an extreme edition CPU with the 2000M running at full power.
    3. I personally use the 170W one that came with the machine.
