Although I have no use mSATA hard disk

W520 airframe size of 372.8 mm x 245.1 mm x 32.8 36.6 mm, this and keep the W510 completely consistent. W510 and W520 although in size, but does not calculate in 15 inch notebook computer is big but…….

Although I have no use mSATA hard disk, but I’m sure W520 support in the PCI E WWAN card slot on using a. Buy Microsoft outlook for your family and your colleagues.

 In fact you can install a piece of Intel Series 310 SSD in this slot as a system set up that could be installed on the W520 three pieces of hard disk. Although lenovo recommend using mSATA interface to build hybrid hard drive, but I suggest using a SSD as system disk. (translators note: fortunately, lenovo and did not continue to new hard drive interface, the shield of Sandy Bridge type all, including X220, T420, T520, W520 all support SATA III 6 GB controller!)

I have received this sets W520 equipped with Intel 6300 WIFI module and Intel 82579 LM QianZhao network adapter.

Positive-in the pictures, from top to bottom in turn is ThinkPad T410s, ThinkPad T410 and ThinkPad W520. For I have no positive evaluation.

The right-W520 interface position and W510 maintained the same. On the right, you can see that the memory slots 34 mm ExpressCard slot, expansion slots of the 12.7 mm high DVD burners and Ethernet interface. Do you like Office 2010 home ?

 I don’t like the Ethernet interface in here, I more hope put it in the back and modem put together, and in this position is placed on a USB port, as T410 the same.

The back–on the back of the a very worthy of note this change is the power source. In order to support 170 W of power adapter, it USES the new design. You can still put W510 135 W power plug up, but 170 W of power but not W520 plug in W510. (translators note: other evaluation shows that only low match version of the W520 likely to support 135 W power supply)

The left-W520 left and W510 make no difference. I would like to point out that the interface is support here eSATA power supply. A lot of office worker love the Office 2010 professional plus .

Boot-I believe that W520 keyboard and W510 is the same, but I found the keyboard of a slightly different color, of course, people will not to pay attention to it.
