*lol* I'd expect that to be a confirmation. Shows how much I've read it; I pretty much just look "Orderable? Nope? BBL."

None of the models currently shown on PSREF include the nVidia chip, but they're all i5s with FHD displays.
Based on the early information about the new Nvidia chips in the T-series, the 940MX in the T460p will likely be basically worthless -- too slow (and with no double-precision support) for most professional 3D use, much too slow for gaming, and the regular HD 530 graphics fast enough for everything else.
