Re: FS: 14.1" Frankenpad: QX9300, 6 GB RAM, post 08/08 FX570m
These are perfectly fine. I think you should share a bit more info about it, however :) Does it have any heat issues, what are the weak installation sides, how did you manage to fit the mobo and the heatsink inside, which display does it use and so on. Extremely interesting frankie. One of a kind. ...

Hi I just saw this topic, after investigating due to a Marketplace post; https://notabug.org/libreboot/libreboot/issues/340 It is now possible to install QuadCores into T400/T500TW500 following something akin to the procedure of installing it to a T61/p.

Thinkpad tablet dock disconnects when connected to power
Hi I just acquired a (used) Thinkpad tablet dock, for my helix 2. However, it disconnects everything when i connect a power plug - USB, HDMI etc. It doesn't matter if the power plug is connected to power - its simply plugging it in the dock, that causes this. I can charge the tablet with power conne...

Why only 6GB of RAM? Why not 8GB of RAM like other FrankenPads? Seems strange to boost the processor so much and not Max out the memory. What kind of Temperatures does this beast run at? When i built it 8GB was really, really expensive. And i don't need more than 6GB in a laptop, so i haven't had a...

Re: High efficiency GRAPHENE assisted cooling
I don't see how this will work. You are still reliant on the copper for the heattransfer, so it will effectively only work as "thermal paste". Thermal paste is there to close all the microscopic air gaps between the die and the heatsink. Graphene is not a fluid, so i dont see how it does that? If it...

New forum for the 51nb machines
Hi
Just a short suggestion; Why not make a new sub-forum for the 51nb machines, to keep them seperated from the "OEM" thinkpads?
Just a regular subforum like the "legacy thinkpad forum".
All things that are relevant to them, are much different than the traditional thinkpads.

A QX9300 T601 will be as fast as a 920XM 701 in some multicore applications. But it will be blown out in graphics performance, and single threaded.

I have the "GPD win", which is their 5.5" game oriented windows device. I was pleasently suprised by the quality, keeping in mind it is a niche market AND the price is rather low at 299$ including shipping. However i think it is interesting to see a new breath of life to the UMPC market. Declared de...
