I don't want an SSD in that bay. I have two M.2 SSD chip drives in bays 1 and 2. I want traditional HD storage in the 3rd bay.

God, BIG data is kicking my ass. Converting my old Dell M6500 workstation into a virtual machine to use on the new notebook, and simultaneously copying a 200GB VM that has all of my programming languages and SQL Server and tools to the notebook. Moving 800 GB of data over the wire takes some time.

Day 1 impression, I REALLY like this new notebook.

So not only did the discounts drop this down from 11K to 7.5k, I found out that I earned $497 in rewards dollars. I just ordered 2 additional 91 Whr batteries and a 2nd charger...all for free. Got $50 in rewards left.

And, the 5 year warranty is confirmed.

Lenovo just made your new mobile workstation obsolete.

I'll look into it 8 years from now. On a bright note, my two free batteries and a 2nd charger came today. Battery life is MAGNIFICENT compared to my old M6500. We're talking upwards of 3 hours, and now I have 3 batteries.

Oh, and....Display options...15.6 inches. FUCK THAT.

Video Graphics Up to NVIDIA Quadro P3200 Mine is a P5000 and that was an $800 upgrade from P4000.

And with ECC memory, you can only get 64 GB, like I have.

Kinda confused how mine is obsolete. OK, 6TB internal, and I have 4, but I have 5 TB external in my backpack from the drive that wouldn't fit, so I have 9.

You do because you can, and I would do the same thing. That's what we do as a family. Bust each other's chops.
