automatic shutdown?

So my power settings are set to never shut down when plugged in. Recently my computer has been automatically shutting itself down. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Poor "N" wireless performance?

I just got a linksys "N" router and I must say.. I am very disappointed with my internal wireless card. I when streaming videos online, a hard line to the router is about 100x faster than using the wireless. I thought the "N" stuff was supposed to be fast and yet some videos will barely load. Is thi...

my x61t screen problem?

So I got my x61t about 3 weeks ago and am loving it. However, I've noticed what looks like "fingerprints" on the edges of the screen where it connects to the black frame. These are, in fact NOT actual fingerprints. It seems like maybe a problem with the screen like too much pressure was exerted when...

right but the reviewer mentions problems that I thought I had read about... supposedly it's just tasking all of the frequent applications or something and after about 2 weeks it settles down. I dont think that the review was conducted over a period of 2 weeks... maybe a week tops or less?

so the review says that the HDD was spinning a lot and eating resources... but I also read somewere that Vista does this a lot in the first 2 weeks. Is it possible to say that the resource hog is possibly due to vista?

x61t software

So, I got windows vista on my x61t that I just ordered. I figured my office can hook me up with the MS Pro pack (excel, word, outlook)... but does the tablet come with the famed one note or will I have to purchase that on my own?

are you near a depot? if not, on site. you can look on the lenovo website, put in your zipcode and find the nearest depot. any major city will have several. do you lose your keys a lot? Do you lose writing pens a lot? (not because people borrow them and don't return them) if so, get another digi pen.

Re: okay

okay, wait a second. Does the SXGA+ without multi-touch, work just fine with the pen. That would makes sense, so the multi-touch is just IF you want to use your FINGER as well? correct. multi-touch is the pen and a finger so you get get your screen all grubby. non multi-touch is the pen only.
