Looking at X1C 3rd gen - only 4GB memory

As far as I can find, I can't add memory to this configuration. If I am in error, please advise.
It is a decent priced machine still in waranty, but 4GB is not sufficient with onboard video, etc.

TIA

Re: Help with pricing X220 to sell

The only thing I see that looks like a date follows the type and s/n = 12/05. As far as the quote, I gave them type and s/n and they gave me price. I talked to a lady on the phone. Could be she made an error?? At any rate, I can delete the warranty info from any ad I put up. Original warranty is alm...

Re: Help with pricing X220 to sell

Thanks, all. I did check on renewal last month. It could be renewed, but it was a bit pricey, considering the selling price of unit. I was quoted $219 for depot, $269 for on-site; both, for 3 years.

Question re X220 SSD upgrade from HD

I would like to replace 320gb HD with Samsung Pro SSD. I saw somewhere that I need SSD drive spacers to install. I don't see such an item listed in parts online at Lenovo. Where do I find these spacers?
TIA for the assistance.


Thanks, all. Got the answer. :lol:

Re: Need help with HD for ultrabase 3 (X220)

Looks like most new drives are SATA III. Will that work OK with X220; just slow down the transfer?

Thankd for the welcome and comments. I do use it for other things including various tasks for our church, and even do some picture editing on a small scale.

Just acquired a T60 with 15" SXGA+ screen

Just received a mint (less than year old) T60 to replace my T42 (sold) and X41 (sold). It is a bit heavier and bulkier, but I am retired and don't haul it around a lot. I do a lot of surfing on it so the desktop is free for the wife. It has the following: core duo 1.8ghz (not core 2 duo) X1300 video...

had problem with XP today and had to run restore, so there is now a recovery partiton and the copy of Office XP and McAfee are gone.

I have a interested local buyer, followed by a PM that wants the whole thing. I will work with them in that order. Thanks for the queries.

Didn't want to part out, but if I get buyers for it and cover my price and extra shipping, I'll consider it.

Note that there is only one power adaptor that goes with pc.

Thanks, guys. I have requested a RMA for the battery. It has a 30-day money back.

Yes, I set up a password as you pointed out. I think there is something I am missing between the fingerprint setup and XP setup. Haven't tried using the fingerprint reader yet.

Just got a X41 - couple of questions/problems

This is a off lease X1 with nearly a year of warranty left. Has XP Pro, 1.5GB memory, the X4 base with CD-RW/DVD. The 4-cell battery is marginal, at best. As noted in other threads, the thing is so slow to boot up and rather slow to bring up programs. I suppose the 4200 rpm disk is the main culprit,...
