I wont be needing Vista any time soon, plus my ThinkPad's are designed for XP so IBM will have to release a full set of working drivers for just about everything. Then there's the applications I use - will they work with Vista? If I buy a new TP in the future I'll make sure it's Vista ready & suppo...

When you hibernate the entire content of the memory is written to the hard disk in a file so the same state can be returned when the machine is resumed. Its good becuase if you have a few webpages open, a word doc, an excel sheet, a database, a few windows explorers open, maybe an email client, a g...

I've experienced nothing but stability on my thinkpad with the latest drivers. I think the computer heard me when I told it I would replace the 2915abg with an atherosII card if I had ANY issues.

How do you tell what's new and what's old?

My fan has yet to get loud. I like IBM's Presentation Director cuz of the integration.

:shock: I got my new T43 (see sig) and it's soooooo awesome. I love the IBM/Lenovo software package. Access Connections (Fn+F5), EasyEject (Fn+F9), Presentation director (Fn+F7), and the fingerprint software is sooooo awesome! I'm soooooo happy with this new laptop. I put my 7k60 drive in there, upd...

Mine was ordered around July 15 and I just got it yesterday. So about a month, not bad.

I wouldn't disable access connections, it's sooooooo much better than anything else out there.

Mine's at least a year if not a year and a half old. It seemed to work fine though, I was pleasantly surprised.

Hmm....I just let the flash utility do its thing and it worked fine.

Thanks, I just received this thing today, and I'm amazed at how light it is. This machine is awesome!

So I can do it from windows or the recovery partition? I'm gonna need to dro by fry's to pick up some cds!

...on a T43? I can't figure it out.

That's the IBM pack, so you see it is made by targus.

I have a Jansport backpack...from my high school days. I have no clue whether or not it'd fit my 15" T42 (comes today!!!), but at the same time, it doesn't have any lining to support a laptop. Short story even shorter, $100 bucks for a backpack is a bit steep...so for those of you who posted <$100 ...

One possible solution might be to use Intel's latest drivers (ver 9.0.2) off their site. It's been said by a few people at notebookforums that since upgrading the issue's disappeared. Personally, when I get my T43, if I have more than a week of trouble with the 2915abg, I'm paying the extra $50 to g...

I just ordered the Thinkpad labelled one from the IBM EPP site for $52 shipped. Hopefully it'll come this week and I'll let you all know how it fits my new T43 15".

...about the intel 2200bg/2915abg and wrt54g problems, as well as the intel vs IBM wireless cards? I've seen at least 5 separate threads about them in the past couple weeks and they've all been discussed before.

I have a Targus which works fine with me - when I bought mine, Fry's had three different models with varying numbers of pockets. However I have to wonder about carrying a laptop with a "ton of books". If you keep the bag up right, not a big deal. But if you lay the laptop flat so the laptop is on t...

The reviewer also says a con is no multi-recorder? Why would burning dual layer DVDs be a necessity. It doesn't justify the cost. Plus, I dunno about you, but when I burn audio CDs on a laptop burner, they tend to not play as good or consistently (in car audio decks) as those burned on a desktop bur...

That's what I thought too.

2687DDU - Please do not even try old DLinks with it, apparently I had entire 2 weeks to set it up... Then the router dies (ARGH!). Its 802.11B went faster than my "802.11G" IBM Doesn't want me to use encryption either. They had me remake a profile after installing drivers (Which still... Doesn't co...

Go to intel's site and download the latest drivers (version 9.0.2 not 9.0.1) They work wonders on the intel/broadcom issue that it experiences with intel cards and the wrt54g.

Shouldn't that be 100GB not 80?

If you're still having trouble, try the latest linksys firmware which says it's supposed to help the issue, and also get the latest drivers from intel's site. They have two versions of the v9 drivers, 9.0.1 and 9.0.2. Get the latter as many people on the notebook forums with dells and other laptops ...

Um...tell me again why you can't just go to the display properties then advanced and click the second monitor and click "extend my desktop onto this monitor"?

Wow....that's a loooooooong wait. Pick another model if it's that urgent then.... It's not that urgent, besides beggars can't be choosers, and Lenovo's actually replacing my T30 which I've sent to the depot multiple times with this T43. All I have to pay for is an extended warranty if I want it. I ...

Officially, only that cisco one and one other 802.11b card are compatible with the T30. Unofficially, you can put in the 2200BG and run that no1802.com hack on the BIOS to allow it to use the 2200BG.

Wow....that's a loooooooong wait.
