feelin gunhoe, im gonna dual boot vista ultimate 32bit and ubuntu 9.04 64 bit.

love mine too, i think it was manufactured in 2002. pretty slick still running xp pro and ubuntu 9.04. i had a ultrabay battery for it that gave me a total of about 3 hours run time but i think i fried it cause it died suddenly. i dont like how this laptop runs so freakin hot, usb 1.0, and mine has ...

Greetings, while I am waiting for my new x200 to show up, I am wondering if anyone can give their input on what variation of linux they have running on it. I really like Ubuntu and am quite comfortable at least as far as GNOME is concerned. My main concern is hardware support, as I have read a few t...

heh i just cancelled and re-ordered, lenovo was nice enough to waive cancellation fee (you'll hear it here first if they dont!) got vista basic edition for now, i think i will be able to get windows 7 64bit for dirty cheap through my school when it comes out, i think support for 64bit on 7 will be g...

just wanted to add here how i just got pwnd. ordered 18th or so, go back to site check today they added an option for x200 "12.1 inch w/ LED BL - subract $170" so im paying that much more and only getting a ccfl monitor, bought 5 days earlier, still in the mail, anyone who ordered same time as me an...

heh googling and searching here reveals the 5300 is [censored] too. did i make a mistake picking up the x200? its in the mail as i type (over the pacific according to UPS). im seriously concerned that i paid way too much for it (~1300 cdn) considering dell is offering a comparable spec/size laptop i...

Hey, where do we pick up the EVDO wireless cards? Is there a reliable site? I want GPS on my x200!!!

thanks, can you advise if the intel wireless is easily user upgradable? I am worried because i ordered the 5100 with mine, which i have heard is drastically inferior wireless device.

i believe i have had bad luck myself, with an R32 i bought an ultrabay battery, i believe its a genuine one and came new in box, but still it died on me out of the blue, i dont think its worth the risk on such expensive items, and likely following murphy's law, the failure will happen at the worst t...

Greetings, just made the jump from an R32 to X200, have not received it yet, the wait is killing me. I ordered it with Vista Business installed and it comes with an XP Pro recovery CD, also there is word that 7 will be available for $30 when it is released. Not sure if I will make the plunge on that...

Just retired my R32, picked up and X200!!! soo happy, see ya guys on the x series boards! w00t!!!!!

heh save your money, 2.4 still sucks, while the 1.6 is sufficient

Can anyone help me out??

just to add W7 is off my computer, sp3 (windows 2000 theme) is back on and i am much happier now. crashed 3 to many times on me....

On my old (~2003 model) P4-M 1.6 512MB RAM 160GB hard drive I have to say that for a modern operating system I am happy with my computer that it runs. W7 reminds me a lot of the little experience I have had with OSX and the KDE linux desktop. It clearly runs with some graphical features turned off o...

It's not hard, I know one of you has the legit microsoft iso so I will repeat:

Can someone post the md5 checks from an iso they downloaded from the Microsoft source?

Thank you for your time.

[censored] the t400s are sounding better and better. can anyone comment if they are essentially the same as the t500, im leaning towards that now due to the bigger screen. from what i've read the t60>t61 but neither sound that appealing compared to t42/t43 or the newer models. and honestly i with i ...

driveimage xml

Greetings, I signed up for the Windows 7 Beta got a legit CD key, unfortunatly it is no longer available to download from microsoft, so I figure I will now have to find the .iso elsewhere. Can someone post the md5 checks from an iso they downloaded from the Microsoft source? Or can they link to a go...

This post is relevant to my interests. Ebay has some good deals, but so far they have all slipped away from me in the last minute. I've been checking lenovo's outlet site for some deals, but it looks like they have nothing right now. Craigslist, I have been checking, but no one responds to my emails...

Wowee, 8.10 has turned my linux experience around!

Volume buttons work, RA0 wireless is perfect, hibernate, sound, fast boot, trackpoint works, holy sh*t!!!!

Not without some googling of course, but this is the version i have been waiting for, and i now officially have a dual boot going.

ah man, id crack open the drive bay and tell you it, but honestly my desktop has turned into a pile of crap (think i fried motherboard when upgrading ram) and i reallly cant afford to lose my lappy right now, i will edit this post after christmas with the exact drive model on the lablel when i get a...

i put a 160gb hard drive in my R32 without any problems whatsoever, running xp pro sp3 and wubi ubuntu...

X61 looks like an awesome, and would be my, choice but it doesent have the touchpad. :( can anyone comment on the XP situation, is it a lost cause or what? the lenovo canadasite is offering a XP recovery CD for free, but im not sure if that is just an oversight of lenovo. if it was true Vista would ...

thats cool man, i was thinking of trying out somthing similar myself (truecrypt) to encrypt my drive. i have ubuntu installed with wubi though, and i think its gonna cause conflicts with truecrypt so i havent tried it yet. anyhow looks secure to me (dont bank on my opinion though :!: ) anyhow i thin...

her needs are really basic, no games, no photoshopping, encoding vids or anything that could really tax a comp. its really a machine for essays, and just basically doing girly things such as surfing facebook/youtube, or maybe managing a photo album. shes in liberal arts going to be a teacher, she do...

I have been tasked with the job of picking my little sister a new laptop for university. (her last year of undergrad studies, she's so smart :o ) I have an R32 and it is an excellent laptop even today after I upgraded the hard drive and RAM, and I would recommend it if it was not going to be her pri...

i had the same issue with the trackpoint not working on my R32 in Hardy. i reinstalled it a number of times, but one time i did follow those fairly easy instructions on changing the xorg file and it turned out great. im trying to do it again, but whats the command line so that you can edit and save ...

i dont know too much about ghost, but really DriveImageXML is freeware, works great with the bartPE disc, does bit for bit, and you can image your drive while in windows. so easy heres the link: http://www.runtime.org/driveimage-xml.htm i think it would have no problem backing up an encrypted hard d...
