Should I go for i3 or i5 (i5 has turbo - i3 does not)?
Do I need Windows Pro or is non-Pro ok ?
Which configuration runs cooler/quieter ?
Questions/comments?
Did I mention that Lenovo's website is hopeless to navigate

- the search function has a life of it's own.
Luca: The Thinkpad T440S seems to be too expensive considering my needs/requirements.
