I still use my desktop since GPU's on laptops aren't even close to desktop ones in performance, but if my desktop dies or I'm on the road this baby performs to the expectations. In regards to the user review above me I see you placed MBP being better ...
 
A nice consumer and business laptop by William N. Bailey "BBNETMAN" on amazon.com Feb 13, 2012
I have bought IBM and now Lenovo laptops and desktops for years. While some times Lenovo does not have the "flashy" designs of some competitors, they do have a simple and elegant look. The T520 is a great work and play laptop with a nice keyboard and ...
 
Practical choice by Bring on the MBA on bhphotovideo.com Aug 25, 2011
I bought this laptop because I am starting up with a masters program and wanted something functional and sturdy to get me through school. Of course something super slim and flashy would be nice, but also most likely twice the price. I chose the T520 because ...

Do Not Buy by Todd on amazon.com Jun 26, 2012
I did a ton of research and finally decided to purchase the Lenovo T520. For the first month all was well, then suddenly the computer crashed and blue screened. Lenovo support sent recovery disks which did not work. Then sent a new hard drive that did ...
 
Better hope something does not go wrong with it!!!! by Eric J. Hoogstra "Taxman" on amazon.com Sep 12, 2011
I purchased this computer new and had it for two weeks. After two weeks the fan went out on the computer not allowing the computer to boot. It has been in Lenovo Depot repair for two weeks now. Unfortunately they cannot seem to find a replacement fan ...

Yes you can use throttlestop to get ur cpu working on full, but I don't rly care bout the CPU, what i need working on full is the GPU and the option of getting good performance out of it on battery doesn't exist yet...MBP's are garbage that overheats like hell and the only good thing about is looks and OS that works well (not like W7 is much behind it...I even found a little program where you choose the gender of the partner you want to interact with and, well need i say more it was "good for me." As is with most extended warranty's Lenovo's is a scam too...
