There is something to be said for new CPU's, but I really lucked out on my aliexpress purchase; 25 bucks for a T9300! If you want to go the cheap route it is always an alternative, but know that refunds are warrantly doesnt exist in China. I can't promise you that they send you a CPU as good as mine...

Went to Media Markt at played with a Surface Pro 4 M3. Wasnt that blown away.... Got the top of the line Miix. M7/8GB/256GB.

I read about that touchpad issue, the cursor jumping around. 5 bucks that they are touching the touchpad with their palms when typing. You wouldnt believe how many times i've had to explain that to outraged customers... Bloody unreal. Read it carefully, there is second issue mentioned: But the seco...

It is mandatory to read real user experience before buying any Lenovo product these days, unfortunately. As usually, there are (were ?) same basic functionality failures https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-based-Tablets/Miix-700-jumping-cursor-keyboard-typos/m-p/2263165/highlight/true#M5025 Chech ...

Couldnt really find a good place for it so i posted here.

Anyone here have one of these? I'm seriously considering one. Cant really decide between this and the entry level Surface Pro 4.

Ran like [censored] for me. Everything i tried worked though. I was just put of by the insanely laggy start menu and the general sluggishness.

A question... how much is this screen and where can you get it from? SXGA+ IPS/AFFS with resolution 1400 x 1050 i assume it just screws into the frame and plugs into the board I think it needs a different lcd cable as well. But its a moot point since the LCD is practically impossible to find. At le...

Fairly certain it can take a i7-3612. I have a i7-3610 in my Edge E530 with the same chipset. Its operating under a barely controlled meltdown so gi with the 3612 instead. It runs cooler.

It takes ivy bridge fine. No issues if you have the newest bios. My old G580 has a i3-3110m.

Thats a very good question, 3G/4G is a firm requirement for me. I think the msata cann't use 3G/4G WWAN,but you can use USB TO 3G/4G such as HUAWEI EC5377U-872 or ZTE,the motherboard have build-in a USB socket you can use . Yeah, well, the reason i need it internally because i've already broken off...

One would be quite enough for me, i'd rather be careful haha. I might work for a printing company, but i don't think the bosses would be fine with us printing money on our off hours.

Hello! If you want to get a X62 motherboard ,you need to visit http://forum.51nb.com/ and contact the HOPE(who is the project's leader). I cann't find the picture upload fuction,so if you want to know more about the X62,you can visit tie web site http://forum.51nb.com. Thank you ! That my friend is...

Taped it up, admittedly a few times, but now it works. Seems to work fine on wwan with dv4mf2 control panel too. *happy dance*

24.99 usd aftermarket battery for T42. Had it for just short of 5 years, (5 years in april). Its on 18% wear, just about lasts 2 hours.

Never had a aftermsrkrt battery last this long. They have usually halved their capacity by 2 years, and dead by 3.

What kind of timetable are we looking at for general availability? Even with my newest upgrades my X61 isnt really keeping up. I was going to buy a surface style tablet, but if thise board can give my X61 a new life, and in the process wipe the floor with thetablet i was looking at, even better.

X62 has a compatible model for X61s named X62s.
hopejyb has designed an individual heatsink for X62s. It is OK to upgrade X61s to X62s

You will need to insulate PIN 20. Otherwise GOBI1000, GOBI2000 and GOBI3000 will be in the EVDO mode. I remember some one explained to me that X61's pin 20 lacks the support for some particular power level that is required for it to enter the WCDMA/HSDPA mode I've ordered a MC7700 (GOBI 4000), acco...

I threw in a lenovo branded Gobi 3000 card into my x61s. Everything seems to work fine up until the point i try to connect to my 3 network. APN and settings are fine. No issue there. It finds a roaming Verizon net, but not my 3 network. Frankly I didnt even know Verizon worked in europe since we shu...

I've seen the number 320$ floating around.

Okay, its not like i do anything but work and sleep anyway. Time's gonna pass like a breeze.

Custom built 400mhz Pentium 4, 384mb ram, 4gb hdd and some older nvidia graphics. I was the coolest kid on the block haha. Anyway, i asked for a computer on my birthday, thinking my parents would give me their IBM since they'd upgraded to a newer HP. Instead, I got a box of parts. My father decided ...

DaKKs : I started with two of the X61s models because I thought I would like the smaller "s" version better. But they got too hot (purchased, but couldn't figure out how to install a second palmrest fan) and they did not have the speed of the full size X61 models. So, I bit the bullet and bought tw...

Yeah, i'm out. Ripped apart a X61 to swap boards into my X61s but i dont think the smaller fan can cope. Now unless that Haswell runs load at absolute zero, i dont think the X61s fan can keep it under control either.

Ran into a snag with my new battery. Didnt get that bloody spacer. I found them on ebay but the shipping alone is like 25 bucks. Was hoping somone closer would have a spare.

Middleton BIOS? I have it in the right slot.

Middleton yes. I put it in the left. The right one is where i keep my useless wwan card.

It should work, but this has happened to me too. Same identical machines, bios settings and it still doesnt work. Happens more often with dells than lenovos in my experience

I use an AzureWave AW-CE123H. Half size, Wifi a/b/g/n/ac + BT 4.0. No issues so far, I'd recommend it. R Mine refuses to boot with it. Either a planar beep code or just pure black screen I went with an intel 6300, then i akso ordered that magic dell card that overclocks. We'll see about the latter.

OEM batteries are for cowards. Real thinkpadders die with aftermarket batteries exploding in their faces, bravely vading the waters of the unknown, like real men.
