No. You don't want to disable this under 7. I am assuming that you have checked everything as far as the software is concerned. So, try looking in the bios and see if maybe there is a power saving setting relating to the display. But, definitely don't want to disable Lenovo's power management under ...

Hey guys (and girls), If you are a T series owner/lover as I am then I've got a piece of info you may find useful. Just 4 the record, my primary machine is T420 (original keyboard), Sandy i7 2620M (6 pipelines/core), Micron 256 gig SSD, 16 gig DDR3 @ 1.5V, 1 gig nvidia optimus, Win 8 pro (upgraded f...

Hi Guys (and girls), I have a T420. Although, I had a relatively new Thinkpad before I bought the T420 that I use now. Which is the Sandy Bridge i7 with NVIDIA Optimus (1 GB) and I couldn't possibly love it anymore than I do!! However, the main reason I decided to go ahead and purchase it is that it...

I saw were someone got word from Lenovo about Haswell appearing in some X series. I was wondering if there was any word on Haswell T series? Anandtech.com did some really good analysis' on the desktop Haswell SKU's citing improved branch prediction and improved TDP among other things. There didn't s...

The author of the Sysinternals tools (i.e. Process Explorer, Autoruns, and many others) as well the novel ZERO DAY, Mark Russinovich, was rocking a ThinkPad at the talk he gave at TechEd on June 12, 2012. I thought this was cool because Mark is the undisputed king of modern day malware analysis and ...

Could you guys please bump this?

So, from what I can gather and after a good deal of research, I suppose that the general consensus from Lenovo is that we are going to have to learn to ignore it unless we want to disable the CPU's power manager. I assume that most of us are in agreement that the long term stresses caused by the ele...

Just saw Steven D's post. Sorry.

So, I bought a ThinkPad Edge e420 with the i5 about six months ago and it came with 4gb ram (2 slots times 2) and 500gb HDD (7200 rpm). I have up'd it to 8gb with two Micron 4gb modules for a total of eight and replaced the HDD with a 256gb Micron SSD. But, I love it so much that I feel I might be r...

Just a quick update. The Micron (Crucial) M4 256 SSD continues to work perfectly in the Edge e420 with the core i5. I would highly recommend this upgrade. My only advice would be to make sure you order the data transfer kit along with it...

Well, guys, it's a done deal. The clone worked perfectly and I'm now typing from the M4. This machine is A LOT faster... The Windows sign didn't have time to fly in and brighten at boot. LOL. It started to and then the password prompt popped up. Guys, I seriously can't tell you how much I appreciate...

I see. Utilize the entire set of nand cells and thereby minimize the total number of writes per cell. So, assuming the clone works, I will use Norton Ghost to back up data instead of system restore and disable it. The obvious question, then.... Can I disable the auto defrag functionality in 7? Just ...

Thank you guys a lot for the help... So, I'm going to change that setting and go ahead with the cone tomorrow when the kit gets here. And, yeah that was really cool of them. It shows they have confidence in their product. Thank again guys. Also, could it be that there is a proprietary setting on tho...

Thanks so much for the reply. So, I checked in my BIOS and I am in AHCI mode for sure. As for the UEFI is says that I am set for BOTH, but Legacy first. Are these the correct settings? If so, then you think I should just go ahead with the clone? The data transfer kit is scheduled to arrive Tuesday. ...

Hey guys. This will be my first post on here and I'm stoked to be among other Thinkpad enthusiasts! I bought my first Thinkpad from Office Depot, where I'm working this summer until I go back to Clemson to finish my degree in CompE, and so far I love it. I think I will be a Thinkpad man from now on!...
