What a punk move to cut the battery size nearly in half for the cheaper model. The upgrade back to 96Wh should be an option atleast. And I still can't get over the 1200p screen on 17". With the selection of parts available, PC laptops would absolutely own the workstation market if they stopped shooting themselves in the foot. Beating (or just matching) all Macbook Pro specs shouldn't be this difficult. I'm hoping the 15" W500 model isn't as compromised.

A touch numpad just hurts to look at for whatever reason (I realize I might not be rational). On a 17in laptop too...Bulat Ziganshin - Wednesday, November 20, 2019 - link
they went with better cooling at the price of dropped numpadshabby - Wednesday, November 20, 2019 - link

If it has a service hatch underneath, then that's a proper laptop!PapaCrazy - Thursday, November 21, 2019 - link

It's a whole cm thinner, they can't possibly squeeze in a larger battery without offering two chassis variants on such a small volume device.nerd1 - Sunday, November 24, 2019 - link
57Wh battery = big joke
