Ok I'll try it later just to check. What I remember is that it seemed like this is an Ultra Special packing of the ISO contents, so that the usual range of USB boot tools wouldn't work..!

Ah - I have laptop and USB memory stick only! So my clarified Q is: How do I write the ISO to an USB stick so that it's bootable and all works, from Linux? (If I recall right, I tried a Bunch of tools on Windows to make a bootable USB disk based on the ISO, and they all failed, maybe like 4 tools.) ...

lead_org,

Um, excuse me, but http://ark.intel.com/products/76616/Int ... o-3_30-GHz clearly says "Max Resolution (HDMI 1.4)‡ 3200x2000@60Hz"?

2560x1440px should be perfectly fine at 60-100Hz I think.

4K should work too, at 24hz or 30hz, don't remember.

This stuff is specified for the CPU, so look up the CPU on Intel's website - and do the public a service by then posting the URL you find as response to this thread!

Hi everyone, How do you update the BIOS from Linux on the Thinkpad S1 Yoga? This is a pretty important matter. I'm quite confident it can be done, but since it's not documented anywhere, I can't figure out Exactly how to do it. How do you do this? Or, what's your best idea of how this should be done...

Your bag is like mine, there is the problem with it also.

I succeeded with keeping a display not broken for 3 months now, by putting a sheet of cardboard between the display and keyboard when shut, and generally being extremely careful not to push the bag ever.

975 EUR / 9000 SEK and it's yours!

Anyone interested?




Also happy to give a sales commission to the one who mediates the sale

OMG - but wait, the X1 Carbon (2015) does *NOT* use a SATA interface, does it? I'm quite clear I read benchmarks showing ~1400MB/sec throughput, whereas SATA 3's upper practical limit is ~600MB/sec, no?

Kindly correct me

w0qj, thank you so much for mentioning.

If anyone knows any update on the 1TB module situation, also please tell!

Hi! Model 20C0003SMS. Price in store 1275-1330 EUR.

North India. (I think I wouldn't call it 'human rights' but 'culture'. Rape laws are superhard though. It's in the culture to sell people though, a bank doing damage recovery instructed their collectors to "sell everything in the house including family members" in 2013.) Omg!

ajkula66,

What model would you suggest?

Thanks for all your reflections. Agreed that Thinkpads are unisex and that a Thinkpad is more my thought than hers, however it's also always a good thing to do things right, not mentioning that real Thinkpads look great. @Dumanda: thanks for your offer, will have a look.; Looking through what could ...

Hi! A woman who's a student here needs a Thinkpad, something modern-enough, budget ~$200. Like ~Full HD (1920x1080) would be great, and 720p webcam & maybe HDMI/DP would be a bonus. Performance, RAM, disk space completely unimportant I guess. This is in Delhi-India but maybe we can get it here some ...

Safety level is 1 milligauss. Someone measured laptop keyboards to emit 50mg. Would be interested to know what the Thinkpads with magnesium chassis on lower end and keyboard score. "The problem with laptop radiation is that it is operated closely especially in the laps. Laptop radiation is 1 milliga...

My new screen got a tiiny crack just 3 weeks after I got it, from a transitory and not heavy push toward the laptop's middle, but that was no problem as it was almost invisible. Now, I had with me the laptop on 5 days' travel, as usual in the Neoprene case, and on the 4:th day, just like before my p...

My charger was fried, the solution was to get a new one, and get this voltage protector: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.ph ... 2&p=754912

Completely awesome. No issues after I got it.

In 3 weeks in India, I burnt no less than three electricity chargers. Noone informed me in the past that the third world suffers of voltage swings and so called "electricity surcharges" (I think they're called), that instantly fry your charger. The solution is buying a voltage filter and surcharge p...

rkawakami, thanks.

Apparently the AC adapter was fried, from voltage fluctuations in this Indian power system.

So apparently you always need an external voltage stabilizer when you're in the third world.

Hi!

If travelling and something bad would happen to laptop, it would be incredibly good to be able to have the correspondent of a SATA to USB cable, for the PCIe SSD in the X1 Carbon 2015.'

Does that exist? How do you do this?'

Thanks

Since 5hrs, my Thinkpad Yoga gen1 does not charge when plugged into the wall. I checked carefully that the charger is indeed plugged in and that there is proper powers upply in the wall. * Tried the reset button on bottom of laptop. * Will try unplug battery for some seconds, as advertised elsewhere...

Brchan, Ah no, the X61 Tablets had a "bubbles leak" problem that just appeared out of nowhere, it was well documented. On 7 laptops, apart from 2 X61T leaks, I damaged only I think 2 or maybe 3 laptop LCD:s up to now ever, that's really fine. I wish to be clear about my purpose with creating this fo...

Ajkula66, You're sleeping at airport or other unsafe public place and you need a tight hold of your Thinkpad anyhow, in a place where you'd wake up if someone was trying to take it from you. So just putting it under neck makes good sense. Ooh an actual product that solves it, SumiTex fabric - awesom...

600x, it seems that my focal torturing the Thinkpad Yoga had a relatively speaking worse effect than the asphalt - By, I suppose, squeezing particular areas of the outer cover under which the screen are, or, I guess applying pressure from the top while also applying pressure to the side, so that the...

fb1996, Great, thank you for letting me know! Do you have any idea when an 1TB module ought to be on the market? (Just for reference, the MacBook Pro:s have had 1TB options for some while now - what's different about its format compared to the X1's? Is it just the wrong socket, or are there size con...

Brchan,

Should not have been a bad batch.

What are your personal do:s and don't:s with your Thinkpad, to get things done while being confident it'll be in a perfect tomorrow too?

brchan, I would love to know how the X1 Carbon 2015=3:rd ed. is with regard to these questions! Next, as you can see, I had an incident with a Yoga already, and that one should not have gotten too much pressure. Perhaps that backpack was like 12kg and I pushed it a liitle. Do you see a problem, why ...
