As a matter of fact, the photo that CDW has up is *NOT* a 570 at all.
If you look at the following URL (linked from IBM's web site):
http://webevents.broadcast.com/ibm/thinkpad0499/home.html
...you'll see that it details a a webcast that will take place on April 20
when they announce the machine officially. What you will *also* see is a
side-angle view of the 570 with its little "Ultrabase" about an inch
beneath it. In that view, you can tell that it has the blue "3rd button"
that Ben suggests should be there. The CDW page's picture of a supposed
"570" doesn't have one. Its a fake (well, at least an error on CDW's part).
