If we were interested in buying this, do you have a referral link which would benefit Phoronix?

In the past nine years of running Phoronix, IBM/Lenovo have never been interested in sending out ThinkPads for Linux testing... The only ones ever covered on Phoronix were ones I purchased.

A shame really, since they even went and got it Ubuntu certified.

Well, is there no way to get in touch with Lenovo?

No, I don't have such laptop.

Can we have a benchmark with the Thinkpad S440?

No, I don't have such laptop.

From AT it varied between the 640m and 650m.
Its compute performance, however, was much better aside from luxmark.
Also, it was able to do this with a smaller power budget.

Thanks for the info!

What NVidia GPU does the Iris compare to? Impressive (I think?)
