    Looks like the T520 is the last real "quality" 15" ThinkPad with the proper keyboard. Where can I find a clean example with factory warranty? I searched around on the Outlet but the oldest one is already the T530. Any suggestion? Thanks!

    Amazon.com seems to have few new ones offered by different sellers, and I believe if it is list as 'NEW' , then it should be factory sealed, and warranty period should not have started yet.

    Someone correct me if I am wrong.

    I wouldn't be so certain about the warranty...these are 3-year-old systems...

    isn't the t520 basically the same as the w520 but with some limitations. In that case why not just get the w520.

    Only if they're an authorized reseller.

    More or less yes.

    The T520 (those with nVidia) have proper multi screen support though; the W520 does not.
