Re: Stuck at X220, T420s,W520 need advice on upgrade
need a capable i7 A capable Core i7? Do you mean a quad-core Core i7, or a hexa-core Core i7? . . . You can't have a laptop that is very fast and very light at the same time, so you would have to make some compromises. Are any newer models of the X1 or T470s or higher upgradable, or will I have to ...

I have bought Lenovo batteries on Amazon for about $75 - $80. I bought two aftermarket batteries, that I returned. The Lenovo batteries are still going strong.

Millions of firearm owner have massive stores of ammunition as well as arms. Many at least as good, and many times much better than any small arms the military uses. I am one of those.

It will take me a while to check the driver version and whether I have both Intel and nvidia installed. I suspect you need both. I haven't booted it in a while so it will go through some updates.

Re: W520 Blue Screen
Some of the W520 batteries were recalled. You might find the battery check program at lenovo.com, although the recall is over, it's worth checking. If you cannot find the recall battery check program, you can pm me and I may be able to find it and send it to you. Another thing to check, is your batt...

Re: EU seems to be in danger...
According to this , the pronunciation of β was changed from sounding like an English 'B' in Ancient Greek to sounding like English 'V' in Modern Greek. Thus we established that there is at least one historical process which is unrelated to the Western civilization's gallop towards suicide. Good to ...

Re: Laptop collectors: if you're allowed to collect just one laptop, which one would it be?
As a collectible, the ONE I would want (and I still would love to have) is a ThinkPad 500 which was my first ThinkPad. It was also, I believe, the first ThinkPad "notebook" meaning it was small.

Re: EU seems to be in danger...
Also notice the island's name: Lesvos with a v . Not too long ago, and for centuries, if not millennia, it was called: Lesbos with a b . But I guess that was "too insulting to women..." Apparently beta ("b" in English) is pronunced with the English sound of "v" so however you spell it in non-Greek ...

Re: Original List Prices of IBM (and some Lenovo) era ThinkPads
Wow! Using the listed price since I don't have the original configurations, I must have spent over $18,000 on new ThinkPads back in the old days. All were paid list price by my employer, who couldn't understand my fascination with these ThinkPads, but, since I had my own budget, I had the freedom to...

I have an S9, AT&T version. Once I was able to install some of my Blackberry software on it (Hub and Calendar), I am quite happy with it, fast, great screen, HD voice and wifi calling. Ignore most of the Samsung apps, disable Bixby.
