i'm going to order a lenovo, and when configuring it asks if I want the Intel Turbo Memory hard drive cache then I can't have the UWB WPAN. what is UWB WPAN? I'm not sure if UWB WPAN comes default, but is it worth getting the Intel Turbo Memory hard drive cache instead of UWB WPAN?

someone has to know the answer to this.... i want to order this thing tonight.

BTW there is a Lenovo 15% off coupon good until 28 june:
CAPSAVEINJUNE

glad I found it, cause it saved me $256 which allowed me to upgrade to Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9600 (2.8GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2) for free!!!

I was debating between T400 and T500 since there was only like a $70 price difference for a larger screen and way better graphics card in the T500, but then i looked at size and weight and it was a no brainer (i need something small and light for to-and-from work, and travelling). all I need to decide now is if I want the Intel Turbo Memory 1.6, 2GB. It's free, however when you select it, you get a message saying you can't have UWB or WPAN, and I have no idea what those are.

but anyway, here are the specs:

HAHA, ok, but i'm still clueless... is that like mobile internet? cause I don't forsee myself ever using that, so i'll probably go with turbo memory then.
