The Think BIOS Config tool- Config your BIOS from Windows
My X330 somehow managed to stop displaying BIOS on it's screen, as the BIOS was messed up and stopped defaulting to DP2, instead using the removed internal display. As I could still boot into Windows, I managed to use this tool to set the BIOS and set it to default to display to DP2 again. Hope peop...

Re: X330 -Ask Me Anything
What exactly is changed compared to a standard X230? It's more than just the screen and matching bezel, isn't it? Besides the obvious, the laptop is now hijacking the Dock DisplayPort and the physical parts of the Lid have been altered. They have figured out how to add a second mSATA slot and some ...

Re: Ordered a X330.
In my simulation, superbuy added 35 yuans of local shipping to their warehouse, so I thought the local shipping was paid in advance. Do modify the price, there is a little button ''edit'' near the price in yuan and apparently it is where I can enter my options. https://reho.st/thumb/self/1546fe910e...

Thank you for your reply, Geartooth.
