  It is indeed a Sandy Bridge laptop - and it is most definitely
available to the public - I bought it a couple months ago from the
(public) lenovo website :-)

  The complaint it is too cold funnily enough ... and no it does not
feel hot either ..

   I'll check for BIOS update - but last I checked there wasn't one - I
wish it was easy to do bios update on this in linux :-(
