I hadn't checked CDW on the T460p, although I probably should have.

re: lower-end discrete GPUs:
That's disappointing
I think it's more a matter of the integrated GPUs having gotten that good than that the discrete ones are bad.

As I said (not sure whether is ended up in this thread or the other one) I am really pretty psyched for the Iris Pro 580 iGPUs. They should be competitive with midrange discrete units, and fit into machines with a very reasonable thermal envelope and battery life.

I don't yet know if that will include any of the mainstream business models, but I'm hoping...
