I ran the Windows performance test on my W701. The lowest score is 6.9 for the graphics: Desktop performance for Windows Aero (whatever that is) and 3D business and gaming graphics performance. I have the Quadro FX 3800M. Not that makes a difference but was curious what other people get on that. I w...

Ok decided to give a second chance to Lenovo so ordered another W701 after returning the first one. Shockingly this one was shipped 3 days after placing order despite a 10 business day original estimate. So far so good so "fingers crossed" :banana: :bow: One of the things I did not like about the fi...

Hi pianowizard, Everyone seems to get all excited about DC2 on HP. However great the screen looks like (and it does) there are a lot of other issues with HP: - Only 1 HDD drive (unless you give up the DVD drive). A very weird limitation considering the size of this thing. - A lot of issues so far wi...

I ordered a W701 about a month ago. I was pretty excited to see finally a delivery date. Last week I finally got it. As read in a review here the screen part was huge with a lot of plastic around the screen (definitely no design improvements there). Also the keyboard kind of felt a bit flaky (too mu...

Hi xiphmont,

I did order my W701.
Good news: I caught the Father's Day sale for another approx $500 discount.
Bad news: I caught another of those "we don't have good screens" gap so delivery date was estimated at end of July
So I guess I have plenty of time to buy some stickers

Hey guys, I think I finally decided to go for the W701 versus Dell M6500. I was wondering if you can help with couple of decisions. I will be using this mainly for Visual Studio, SQL and couple VPCs run at a time. Ocasional games (might go back to WoW when the next big release is out :lol: ). 1) Pro...

@ laptop4me: I am in the exact same boat as you (though I would not go for the Covet version since it is a glossy screen). I do have a Thinkpad T60p so originally Lenovo and W701 was a no brainer but due to the delays in releasing it I had a chance to read up on latest (small) issues with Lenovo so ...

One more question:

It seems newmods US does not make a ultra bay HDD caddy for T60p so does anyone know where can I buy one from?

Hi, I have a T60p. I bought a new HDD for it (that I want to make it the main drive) and was wondering whether I can keep the old drive as a secondary. I did the factory install on the new HDD from recovery discs so now I can boot from either of them. I searched the forum and it seems one way to kee...

I have been going through the same question for the last month too. I have a 15" T60p with 16:10 aspect ratio so I had to stop crying for 4:3 a long time ago ( :cry: ). I moved the taskbar to the right and I can live with it as is ... T510 and W510 were the logical next step (since they have the I7 ...

And one more question: what size harddrive am I looking for? Size as in 2.5" and what height to make sure it would fit in.

Intels are probably the best SSDs right now. The bigger drives offer better performance. Anything with the Indillix controller is a good second choice. Keep in mind as the drive fills up, performance degrades. XP will work fine on a SSD. XP doesn't support trim, but that's not a huge deal in my opi...

Hi guys, I have been enjoying my trusty T60p for 3-4 years now but lately felt I needed more RAM and perhaps a faster harddrive. After 2 weeks of reading about the new Lenovos I decided that maybe it is wise to wait a while since nothing is appealing out there right now (do NOT get me started about ...

So I'm back on my T60p, and I must tell all of you who are still on the fence about Solid State Drives, just how HUGE a difference the SSD makes! It just struck me after preparing an emergency "just-in-case" installation of Windows 7 x64 on a hard drive the other day, before I packed up my W700 and...
