Thanks I'm almost certain that it's the graphics, though I don't know why this is suddenly happening: I've been using this machine since last October without issue. I am not using the trackpad - I am using a USB mouse. I have also notices that when music was playing when the freeze happened, this st...

I'm trying to work out why my PC freezes/locks up for about a second (the pointer does not move) every so often. This has only been happening for the last 2 days. My PC spec: ThinkPad X201S 1440x900 i7 2.0GHz 8Gb RAM, 256GB Samsung 840Pro SSD, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit CalDigit USB 3.0 ExpressCard 34, U...

Seems kind of on the "sweet" side....Even the pic on Amazon is of a chick using this bag. Well I never even thought of that! I just thought that the bag was very practical, particularly for my morning commute - rather have something by the side of me that I can take on and off quickly unlike a ruck...

I got this bag. Really like it: secu...

Welcome to thinkpads.com! According to Thinkwiki the X201s has: "The MiniPCI Express slot is a version of the PCI-Express x1 slot for Notebooks." Thanks Neil and thanks for the welcome, though I'm not so much interested in the MiniPCI Express part of the machine but rather the overall internal Expa...

Installed Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit on my X201S - see spec in my signature. Lenovo provide all the drivers available from their usual download pages - most are Windows 8, some are Windows 7 but in these particular cases these are forwards compatible with Windows 8. The trackpad and rubber 'stalk' track...

Which version of PCI Express does the X201S have? I'm particularly interested to know as this would determine the speed of the ExpressCard 54 expansion slot. I'm thinking it's either v1.0 or v2.0 though likely to be the v1.0 out of these two. Small chance it could be v2.0 as I think this was availab...
