II still think a VPN might be a good approach to online security, and would like to know the most secure one.

I don't play video games, either.

What I miss most are the electronic kits of the 1970s and 1980s. When SMT (Surface Mount Technology) became the norm, I packed away my soldering iron for good.

It should work. This is the same card I have in my x230 Tablet.

FWIW, I recently acquired an Alfa AWUS1900 802.11ac 1900 Mbps Dual band 2.4/5 Ghz Wi-Fi USB Adapter for my x230 Tablet. Yes, it's an external adapter, but it works very well and might be an alternative solution for you. I just disable the internal Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 card and use the Alfa...

X230 Tablet with Windows 7 Pro x64. Has anyone downloaded and installed the latest update to ThinkVantage Password Manager (v4.70.22.0), which replaces it with Intel’s True Key (www.truekey.com)? Here’s the ReadMe, which doesn’t shed much light: https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/pwmupdatefr...

Interesting little application.

During your development, did you tinker with brightness levels of the backlight? I've been looking for something that would add a third, brighter level without degrading (too much) the lifespan of the white LED array under the keyboard.

You might start here...a new model of the Z Force is supposed to be released later this year.

Moto Z Force.

Welcome to the Forum, roxor. The reason it doesn't fit is because this particular model does not support the x230, only the x220. You need the ThinkPad Ultrabase™ Series 3 (0A33932) for your x230. EDIT: I stand corrected by dr_st below. I was originally referencing an outdated Lenovo accessories lis...

I used a Wang dedicated word processor back in 1988. Bulky, heavy 'laptop'...but worked well.

You're entitled to your opinion. But the OP wants to try it, and I see nothing wrong with that.

Let the OP make his/her own decision to determine if it's "crappy, useless bloatware."

Are you using v3.4.002, the latest version?

Just wait another week, and you'll be able to send that message to "Her Majesty" in Washington, D.C.

God help us all.

I needed my non-thinkpad win7 desktop after literally 2 years of not booting it, and windows update stuck at 0% even after leaving it for 12+ hours. I tried current roll-ups and windows-update-KB-updates and all of them hang at 0% as well. thanks, MSFT. this is what worked: http://download.wsusoffl...

"I can download manually all of drivers, but system update is faster:)" In my experience, it can take awhile for System Update to catalog the latest drivers and software for a given machine model and type. For my x230 Tablet, I use http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkp...

Go to: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product ... beta=false

No need to wait for the latest version to appear on System Update. Download it now from:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product ... s/DS013683

Try Amica (no, I do not work for them).

Access Connections v6.25.73 is now available for Windows 7 (32/64), which might resolve your issue.

The last supported version of TrueCrypt is v7.1a.

VeraCrypt is now available and is based on TrueCrypt's code.

See: https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/

Congrats. Drink heavily.

At this point, I would reinstall the Bluetooth module, as it may be corrupted. I also have a x230t (3434CTO) with Windows 7 Pro which uses Bluetooth v6.5.1.4500. The version of Bluetooth you have is for Windows Vista, according to the link below. You can re-download it from http://support.lenovo.com...

Well said. Thanks for your extended post on this topic. (Memo to everyone: The sky is NOT falling.)

Out of curiosity, I went back and reviewed the entries in my system maintenance log for my x230 Tablet pertaining to the Intel graphics driver. Sure enough, I had encountered a similar problem with the OSD after installing a later, generic Intel graphics driver. In fact, the Intel Driver Update Util...

Ah, another reason why I love living on the 29th latitude.

Start the computer? As in, power on using the fingerprint reader? I was unaware that Thinkpad's could do that. I can assure you that in Win 7 I could start the computer with a finger swipe. It would also continue through the login with no pause to the desktop. Slightly OT, but I can also confirm th...
