The W530 looks like an absolutely lovely machine... I am tempted to get one myself as I am planning on moving state side and wanting something to replace my desktop for development.
- paulbaumgart 14y agoThe main downside, besides the weight, is the 170W monstrosity of a power brick. The performance is amazing and Ubuntu support is decent: NVIDIA Optimus doesn't seem to work and suspend is flaky, but those are the only problems I've encountered.
- enduser 14y agoI have had my W530 for a few months and it is the best laptop experience I have ever had. The power brick is a beast, the only downside. I use the NVidia card in dedicated mode (Optimus disabled) and would recommend the T530 for someone wanting to use integrated Intel graphics. I use it as a desktop replacement, with a Samsung 830 (which is rock solid) in the main drive slot and the original 320GB 7200RPM drive in a media bay HDD adapter. I haven't upgraded from 16GB to 32GB yet, but I like having the option!
