I unfortunately got a lenovo w530, which albeit is an awesome machine,
has an nvidia card.. supposedly this system also has a backup intel
card, but I have never been able to get dual monitor video, even when
switching off the discrete video in the bios.
AC wifi, while the card is supported , AC is not, look through the list,
even N is not fully supported yet.
