I have had the exact same problem as elee532 above. Fan makes a louder grinding type sound when the laptop is first being turned on or off, but the key annoyance is the buzzing that occurs when its sitting on a flat surface. I don't have time to send the whole system back to Lenovo for a fix, and wa...

Thanks, no that doesn't seem to have done it. I'm using Access Connections, and I have both the Norton and Windows firewalls on. The one issue I should add, is that before leaving the US and Canada this wasn't an issue, but since getting to the UK I've noticed it. Maybe a setting was changed at some...

Disabling wireless auto-off?

I feel like this is a very simple problem, but haven't been able to fix it myself or find anything in the forums and would seem to apply. Essentially, when connected to the internet, if I am not constantly moving through pages or downloading my X60T seems to shut down the wireless card. It only give...

Thanks very much for the replies. Yes all of the screws are tight, and I am certain that noise is coming from the fan assembly. Unfortunately the bearing explanation seems the most plausible at the moment. As was mentioned, only when the X60 is starting up or powering off sometimes there is a much l...

Vibrating fan noise

I'm hoping someone can help me with a minor annoyance I'm having with my X60 tablet. Essentially, after the machine has been running for a while, whenever it is set on a flat table/desk, the fan at the back left begins to make a kind of intermitent vibrating sound. The sound tends to pulse somewhat,...

Pulsing fan and Vista/IBM software questions

After mulling it over for quite a while, finally picked up an X60 tablet. Had it for a while and so far I love it. Two quick questions I was hoping someone here might be able to help me with though. First, I'm confused as to how the Vista power and wireless programs interact with the Lenovo ones. It...

Testing RAM without CD drive

Just received my X60T a few days ago, and on the first day I added in a Kingston memory DIMM (1GB) from newegg. It's been working perfectly for at least a week, and then today in the middle of working a blue screen message popped up. nmi parity check memory parity error And then I had to restart. I'...

Just decided to bite the bullet and order. Hopefully won't have any problems. Two last questions though, if anyone wouldn't mind. 1) I ordered one 1 GB stick of RAM, and am planning to get a second from newegg. But I don't need two sticks of the same brand to get it to run dual channel correct? As l...

I knew I would be able to increase the font size, but it's good to know that resolution switching isn't an ideal option. And any thoughts on the problems people have been having with flickering/etc screens? Is this widespread, and equally importantly, is it as much of a problem with the XGA's? The r...

Ordering, two quick questions about SXGA screens

Afternoon all, I've decided after waiting for a while to go ahead and order an X60 now (time is a factor, didn't see much in the X61 that was worth waiting for). I think I'm going to go with the SXGA, and I was just wondering, A) if you can turn the resolution on the SXGA down if the fonts/etc are u...

Just one other quick one, does anyone have a screenshot of 1400 X1050 on a 12" screen? I'm going back and forth on which screen type to go for, and I don't have a 12" screen that I can try out that resolution on.

Again, any help is much appreciated.

Screen delays?

I've decided that I'm going to go ahead and order today, rather than wait until after the sale when the Core 2 Duo's seem like to be added to the lineup. I figure I'd probably end up spending ~$500 more if I wait (300 sale + extra for Core 2 Duo), which doesn't seem worth it based on the small incre...

Interesting. Well just looking at the Intel numbers the difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo are definitely an issue. Does that increase in speed come at a major cost in terms of battery life/heat?

I could probably google this very quickly, but what difference will 64-bit cpu/vista make?

Upcoming X60 (tablet) changes

I know this question has been asked in varying degrees before, but I'm hoping someone could give me an idea of whether it's worth waiting a month or two to buy an X60 tablet. The big question is whether having a Core 2 Duo will make a big difference (64 bit?), but does that come with much of a heat/...
