Yep, the main difference is the videocard. Both are Quadros, which are professional-level cards. In any case, the extra cost DOES NOT justify the improvements, unless you absolutely need them.

WUXGA on a 15.4" screen is extremely tiny. Then, with WSGXA+, which is also quite small, the option is available on both models.

The NVS 140M is equivalent to a GeForce 8400, and the FX 570M is equivalent ot a GeForce 8800. Huge performance difference between the two, but unless you need the ultimate gaming experience, the NVS 140M will do very well.

I suggest waiting for the new Thinkpad T400/T500 though. Those will feature much better specs.
