Anyone using the new Vantage App (former Lenovo Companion) with your Middleton/T61

I've been super happy with my T61 - upgreaded to SSD, 8GB RAM, and Middleton BIOS years ago and it's been running Windows 10 like a champ (except for some initial Win10 + video driver issues https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=125318&p=811927#p811927 that eventually cleared up). Working...

Keyboard protectors/skins for T470

I searched and didn't see anything along these lines in the forums, or even Googleing in general... I am trying to source silicone (or TPU) keyboard skins for our new T470 laptops.

T61 T9300 w/ NVS 140M (NOS post defect) - Latest W10 Fall Update breaks video card

I tried a few things (re-installed the NVIDIA drivers, ch...

Re: X1 Carbon Gen 2 (X1C2) what are common problems?

Hmmm. Sounds like my decision is between spending $500 for 3 warranty years of expected life, V.S. spending more like $700 on a new product and probably squeezing 5 years of life out of it. I love the idea of putting older gear into productive use, but I'm starting to feel like the new laptop route ...

X1 Carbon Gen 2 (X1C2) what are common problems?

I'm about to pull the trigger on 40 second hand 14" X1 Carbon gen 2 (with the touchbar) i5-4300U/8GB/256SSD laptops for our fleet at about a $500 price point. For us the 14" touch screen is the primary draw at this price point. It will be mostly used by elementary students, so not likely to need hea...
