Re: x240 vs x220
Much bigger problem for me is with PgUp and PgDn keys which I am pressing by accident when I am using arrows and in my spreadsheet I am on different place I would like to be. I hope next generation x240 will not have the keyboard from the new X1. I got used to the PgUp/PgDn position on my T440s but...

The last bit is hilarious though, no more CapsLock huh? please, PLEASE show me someone complaining about that pesky CapsLock key being in the way.

Re: My full ThinkPad T440s video review

Re: TrackPoint on the T440p compared to "old" models?
But the trackpoint is annoying as hell. the way my hand naturally uses the trackpoint, I ended up clicking the scroll (middle part) for a left click. I have to train my hand to bend so that my thumb hits the left side more.. feels awkward and less natural than with the buttons being there. Keep in ...

Re: 45W or 65W power adapter for T440s
I think there are two because outside of US/Canada, the T440s can be configured with dedicated graphics. I ordered such a model here in Germany and they will ship a 65W adapter with it. I remeber seeing somewhere that models with just the integrated GPU ship with a 45W adapter.

Re: X3 Carbon vs. T440s
why are they not considered ThinkPads? The fans of the classic ThinkPads are really displeased with the changes Lenovo introduced in the T430 (and other *30 models), mainly the switch from the 7-row keyboard to 6-row chicklet keyboard. The fact that they removed the dedicated TrackPoint buttons in ...

Re: X200 Bluetooth
As for where the hardware is, the Bluetooth module is in the LCD assembly.
It's the small board under the LCD on this picture, to the left of the ribbon cable.

Maybe you don't have it?
I guess it should be somewhere in dmesg. It's an USB device.

My brother has 3 ThinkPads and many ThinkPad chargers (65W and 90W) scattered around the house. Now they also bought an IdeaPad U310 but it has a different charger connector.

I don't get it. Isn't this as simple as pushing the screen back and looking if the colors start to invert? Viewing angles is the most obvious difference between IPS and TN.

The problem is that in a ThinkPad, the keyboard is supported by the whole machine whereas here it's just a rather...

Re: What is the keyboard's connector type?
The "ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint" has a small board inside that has this connector and converts it to USB. It uses the T400s/T410 keyboard but the connector is the same as in T60 keyboards. I posted some pictures couple of years ago... http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=86096 ...
