Where To See A New X1 Carbon In The Chicago Area?

It seems to be difficult to find one to try these days. Micro Center discontinued them. Best Buy, no display order in only. CDW closed their showroom. Does anyone know where I can try one before I buy? I wouldn't buy a new car without driving one. Buying an X1 2015 would be a giant leap of faith for...

Re: Time for a new TrackPoint design

Re: PSA: Lenovo Computers now ship with Nasty Adware

Superfish on Lenovos just illustrates that Lenovo in not an honorable company. How sad.
I wonder what they would put in my bbq fried rice if they had the opportunity?
A.M.F. Lenovo. You have tainted a once great line of computers.

How Upgradeable is a W700?

What upgrades can be done to bring a W700 closer to current useability? The Core duo processor, what could that be upgraded to? Also what is the max ram capacity on these machines? I like the idea of the 17" screen, and Wacom pad built in. I would want to do some simple photo editing, and like the i...

My Son Stole My T60p & I Don't Like the New Thinkpads

I had a nice T60p 15.6" that I bought new. It had the core 2 duo 2.4 processor, big 9volt battery, and discreet graphics card. I thought that it was my idea of what a laptop should be. Finally the hard drive bit the dust and my son replaced it, and liked it a lot so I let him keep it thinking that I...

T60p question

Hello, I bought a new T60p about 3-1/2 months ago. It has worked very well so far but seems to have one odd quirk. Once every 7 to 10 days the clock resets the time to 2 hours earlier than the actual time. I have reset the time in the control panels and it will remain correct for a few days and then...
