I don't know what I did wrong. I docked my X60s into X6 Ultrabase, and I plugged the AC adapter into the X6 Ultrabase, and my laptop battery does not charge. I could charge my battery only with the docking is removed and AC adapter plugged directly into the laptop. Please help. Thanks

This is a catch is that now the hp nc2400 has ULV Duo Core CPU plus DVD burner. This seems to me is going to be a big improvement over Core Solo. With 3 , 6, and 9 cell battery which lasts 3, 6, and 9 hours respectively. Seems to me hp has everything that Sony and Panasonic lacked of (Duo Core), and...

IMO the keyboard in the Macbook is much better than the Macbook Pro. The Macbook keyboard has a very tactile feel to it similar to the Thinkpad keyboard. The Macbook Pro keyboard is way too light and sensitive when pressing down for my taste. At time I click the key twice without knowing that I did....

I had both 14" and 15" model of T60p. I ended up returned both of them and got me a Mac Book Pro, with 20% student discount. The design of the Mac is impecable which no pc laptop out there could even come close to it. Also the keyboard is back lit and glows in the dark, which none of the laptop out ...

Thanks for the advice Redskin. It's a tricky choice because I do have access to the EPP discount, but I am definitely leaning towards the 8240. As I don't really care about a security chip, the following model looks appealing: http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/MiddleFrame.asp?page=config&ProductLine...

Wanted to say one more thing. Currently I am torn between the T43p and the HP nw8240. There's no way I'll be buying the z60m. I can get EPP on the T43p, but I am currently in Japan, and I can't call IBMs numbers (their 800 number does not accept intl calls, even if I pay for it). Does anyone know a...

I am in your same boat. I am about to do a clean install of xp and I am wondering if removing the extra bloat, ie norton, franklin covey etc will make a difference in performance. Yes, it will. Noticeably. Especially awful resource hogs are all those integrated "av/fw/monitoring suites" à la Symant...

I currently own a 15.4" HP WUXGA laptop. I have to say that the screen is very nice but it's very heavy and the build quality is nothing like the Thinkpad. If you are in need of a light widescreen laptop, buy the 14.1" Z series Thinkpad as nothing else compares. If the weight is not an issue I stil...

in order to achieve maximum brightness. you need to turn off ambilent light sensor. when you do that, the screen is a lot brighter. trust me on that. How many nits is the monitor? What about the viewing angle? i don't know how many nits it has on the hp nw8240. but i can tell you this when ambient ...

i don't know about you guys. but i had t43p 2668-Q2U it's a good lalptop, until i traded with my brother the hp nw8240. all i can tell you is that it's much better performance than the t43p. 1. thinner laptop, 2. slightly lighter laptop, 3. no battery sticking out in the back, and with extended batt...

here is another reviewer who agrees that the display on the HP is dim (different model but same machine): http://www.mobilityguru.com/2005/06/30/compaq_nc8230/index.html in order to achieve maximum brightness. you need to turn off ambilent light sensor. when you do that, the screen is a lot brighte...

I tried an NC8230 as well as an NW8240 because I, too, found the specs appealing. however, I found the screens on both to be terribly crystalized and very dim (due to HP's Panel Protection system), and the keyboard seemed lifeless. in addition, the mouse buttons were way too small and difficult to ...

i would suggest the hp nw8240 it's better than the ibm z60m, and better than the asus 70va 1. it has magnesium composit chassy like ibm t models 2. it has navigation track point like ibm 3. it's lighter than asus and ibm being 5.9 pounds 4. it has wxga screen 1920x1200 resolution 5. it has better gr...

I agree with you about the HDD - even it would add some weight/size to the computer (should be not more than some millimeters). You know all IBM needs to do is extend their notebook about 1 inch deeper to accommodate the length of the regular 2.5" hard drive, because the connector is the same for 1...

And... IBM also have extended battery that is connected to the tablet in the same way. Hope you like it. Sorry you didn't like the X41T. yes but the ibm extended battery only lasts another 2 1/2 to 3 hours of usage. either way the battery life is still shorter in the ibm than hp combined. also the ...

I've had x41 tablet for 2 weeks, and the tablet is so slow particularly the hard drive. so i decided to give the hp tc4200 tablet a try and no regrets. it's 1/2 pound heavier than the x41 tablet but boy it's way faster comparing to the x41 tablet. being that it has pentium m 760 2.0 ghz cpu, and use...

I found Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 with 100 GB 7200 RPM that sales online. I wonder if I stick it into T series notebook that it would give me any error message, or do I have to buy the drive from IBM to avoid that error message.

My brother just got the the HP Compaq Mobile Workstation nw8240 with following spec 2.13 GHz, 60 GB 7200 rpm, 1 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Fire GL V5000, 15.4-inch color TFT WUXGA wide screen with Wide Viewing Angle (1920 x 1200 resolution), Multiburner (the same burner IBM uses), Intel a/b/g wireless, 8 ...

I've had this laptop for more than a month now, the only complaint i have is dimmer lcd screen. dimmer than cto model. also 3d score benchmarking is horrible because never once i got 3dmark 2001 score that is higher than 4000. when i said horrible i mean horrible. other than that it runs quiet and c...

I highly doubt that it will happen. 1400 x 1050, on a 14" already small enough and I could barely see with my 20/20 vision. imagine 1400 x 1050 on a 12"? unless you want to decrease the resolution, which is not a good idea on LCD screen, because text will look blurry and out of focus.

It's easy. All you have to do is buy any internal 2.5" hard drive fom factor and stick it into an external hard drive portable housing and you are done. For hard drive it's easy because it doesn't consume a lot of power, so therefore it can just use the usb port as its power without using the extern...

the mouse pointer only studder when the hard drive is fully loaded or when you have not letting the hard drive to boot up completely. the only complaint i have with the x40, x41, and x41 tablet is the boot up time when you turn on the computer, and IBM didn't help either with a bunch of their junk a...

Here is the instruction of how to uninstall FranklinCovey Plan Plus v4.0 from X41 Tablet, and guarantee it will work: 1. go to franklincovey.com and download its latest version of FranklinCovey Plan Plus v4.0 for Windows XP, and here is the link for it to download http://www.franklincovey.com/downlo...

Since I'd spent hundreds $$ on the Multi-Burner Plus drive though, I keep trying to find a way to use it externally as a USB drive for even more portability, rather than spend more money to get a separate USB DVD burner drive. It doesn't help that IBM's own "Powered USB" DVD burner drives are expen...

Go to device manager, go to Disk Drives, click on it, it will tell you the number, type that number on google or yahoo search and it will tell you if it is 7200 RPM hard drive or not.

Now I am confused. You had posted above as if you had done this (clean install) but it doesn't sound like you have, if you say that you "can imagine that Windows Tablet Edition would follow in the similar format as well"?????? You also said that you then proceded to install just the drivers that we...
