Even the iPhone has better colors than this! #1 sign that a Thinkpad is not for you. I have iPhone but still like Thinkpads! :) I had a Mac and won't buy one for awhile. The hardware is beautiful but suffers from usability and quality issues. Also software could be better - OS X plainly sucks. It i...

Really? Could it be that you don't know how to sell? Many X300s have been sold at eBay recently. Of course, you can't get €1850 for a used machine, especially when prices have come down. To help I can share a positive story about Lenovo's warranty. I had X300 keyboard replaced and Lenovo sent a new ...

Why don't you sell your X300 and buy a better one? Btw, what would that computer be - MacBook Air? :)

How is your X300 buggy? Mine with Vista SP1 is completely stable.

Note to readers: X300 = happiness. Just don't buy it at ridiculous European prices.

http://translate.google.com/ ? :)

My German is limited too but the ordering process is simple.

If you are unable to order yourself try emailing them at info@notebooksandmore.net. They understand English.

Vodafone/AT&T WWAN works in Europe. Verizon's EVDO card is U.S. only.

I'm happy with my X300 screen. I haven't compared it to other Lenovo screens but even if it is inferior by today's standards (which I don't believe) it nevertheless is better than anything available a few years ago. It isn't a bit worse compared to my 1½ year old 23" Apple Cinema Display, except for...

I think the antenna is same in all X300s. According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual the only antenna FRU is 44C4042. I'm not sure but the SIM card slot seems built-in. It'd be strange if it wasn't in all models as HSDPA is available also in the U.S. for AT&T customers. Btw, doesn't Verizon EV-DO ...

Are you sure about needing new antenna and SIM card holder if the machine is from the U.S. ? If so it applies only to X300s with EV-DO WWAN but why couldn't the same antenna be used for HSDPA? I ordered my X300 from the U.S. without WWAN and added HSDPA later by simply installing MC8775 (appx. 275 €...

I don't have problems with 4 GB & 32-bit Vista. I have 4 GB in my desktop and X300 - both are stable.

Thanks erik! HSDPA works now. The installation was a breeze except for the screws. It also took time to understand that HSDPA must be configured using Access Connections because Vista doesn't have built-in WWAN support. If anyone wonders the size is Phillips #1. Speaking from experience these screws...

Thanks for the helpful tips regarding the HSDPA module. My installation went beautifully until I tried to remove the two screws used to attach the module. As you know, they must be removed before it can be installed. Unfortunately none of my screwdrivers are able to do the job. What kind of screwdri...
