Lenovo ThinkPad T500 Series Notebook

[Stuart Murray-Smith]

Greetings list :)

I'm considering acquiring a Lenovo ThinkPad T500 Series Notebook
NL37SZA [1], with Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics chipset.

Would like to find out if anyone has had experience with *drivers* for
this graphics chipset generally, && maybe with this product
specifically.

Can one get the resolution up to the max resolution of 2048x1536 16M
colours as spec'ed?

Any HMDI issues [2]?

Any {3D|Compiz|refresh rate} issues [3]?

Your opinion && insight appreciated :)

Stuart
