Just repeat, I'll NOT respond to any msgs relating to purchase before the scheduled date Do you have any idea if the guy is going to list T430 kit on Taobao or is there any way to purchase kit directly from him in China? I live in China, so it's pointless for me to buy kit from you (it would travel...

Could you link it, please? I cannot find it on taobao. https://world.taobao.com/item/44401100855.htm?spm=a312a.7700820.0.0.BqJFhZ I'm from Kraków, so if you figure out shipping, we could share the shipping cost. Oh, I would need a kit for T430, not T430s version. Perhaps I misread what was said. I ...

I just tried KDE5 in the new Kubuntu today. It seems okay. An awesome thing is that they finally made a decent dark theme. On the other hand, the default flat look is not to my taste. I don't like the look of modern Windows, nor I want it in my KDE. Fortunately, it's just optional, and one can simpl...

Windows key is very useful for me (I set it up to start terminal), but I wish it actually wasn't a "Windows" key but "Whatever else" key. I mean, I do not use any Microcrap products, and yet I have this stupid logo on my laptop reminding me I cannot entirely escape from this annoying company and sof...

My GTX 560 Ti also produces a loud coil whine. Yeah, it's not dangerous, just annoying.

In my understanding newer card will consume more power, Why would it? What would be the point of advancing technology, if everyone would just add MORE POWER to achieve greater performance? You can do that, of course, and hence we have less and more powerful cards within one generation (but some are...

After Googled around for a bit I decided to prioritize certain aspects in terms of PSU for my eGPU setup: 1. Enough power to deal with current GPU (GTX 560 Ti) and also have room if I wanted to upgrade to newer, more powerful GPUs (GTX 800-series or even 900-series, who knows :) ) (...) - Seasonic ...

I'm sure as hell I'll never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

Here is my game review for you guys ;) I hope you'll enjoy reading it. Prelude to Darkness Prelude to Darkness is a turn-based open-world role-playing game with an isometric camera developed by a team called Zero Sum. The most similar games that come to my mind are Arcanum and Fallout. However, unli...

That's a nice review/feedback Kony, thank you for posting it :wink: Had to Google "PE4L V2.1" to understand how you connected your external GPU setup to the Thinkpad; so apparently it's going through the ExpressCard port. For my part, the X220's fan is intolerable when it whines during heavy CPU us...

@Kony I hope you still visiting this forum regularly since I'm starting to build an eGPU system, and we have similar laptop (ThinkPad T430 i5-3320M, HD 4000, 8GB RAM) :P Some question: 1. Did you encounter error 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use)? If so, how did you ...

this is my daily machine, gorgeous x220t courteous of ajkula66 ! some meta-humor ( kony I really like your background!) and also some of my current bad TV shows addiction lol - a. using tilda (or if you're a KDE person like I used to be, yakuake is pretty nice too) - I highly recommend putting any ...

Hi @kony Regarding the integrated graphics adapter on your T430: is it the one with only HD 4000 or the one with HD 4000 + Nvidia card (Optimus)? Currently using i5-3220 M with HD 4000 and planning to build decent eGpu, at least something that could smoothly run Fallout 4 in medium settings. My T43...

You should make an eGPU build with W520 for some heavy gaming too ;)

Of what I know the retro will be a reworked x301 with 16:10, so seems we can just continue dreaming of different rations. Seems Hill wanted to realize his design (the one that started it all) from day 0, so all that polling and asking was generally a scam. However, I believe when/if this comes out,...

Also, how did you keep your T430 keyboard so pristine? Mine is shinier than fresh shined shoes. I don't really do anything to it, except basic cleaning once in a long while (when I clean my whole laptop). I use it every day and I write on it every day, but the keyboard holds up pretty well, I thoug...

Now my laptop looks like this

Impressive collection! Thanks for sharing with us. I especially like IBM 365X, that's an unique machine ;)

Don't mind RBS. He just seems to enjoy stalking people. He even bothered me once because I didn't change my location from Poland to China, when I casually mentioned in some post that I currently live in China. As if the place where I stay matters to other forum members :roll:

And then pay millions of dollars to Lenovo after Lenovo goes to the court and wins the case? Making holding onto these patents a very profitable business even if they don't want to use it themselves?

If you play games, then get an external GPU :)

Lenovo does great gaming laptops though, they are usually the best in performance/price ratio (especially mid-end, which sells the best), and they seem to be quite good in media laptops too, hence why I don't think they will care much about the business class, which most probably generates less mone...

You need to install TLP or other power management as someone already mentioned, Linux distributions don't include them by default or at least I haven't ever seen one that does. With TLP your battery life should be as long as in Windows 7.

As you are new to Linux, I recommend Linux Mint 17.3 MATE Edition. The OS has almost everything you will need preinstalled (save for graphic card drivers, WINE to run some windows software, and any specific stuff you would like to have), and MATE is a very easy to learn desktop environment.

The question is: Why does he keep the gun at hand, instead of hiding it in not so easily accessible place.

I think I know why the store manager let him take this retail cart...

As far as I know there isn't any (significant) limit to the amount of drives you may install, so you can have 10 drives if you wish and find a way to connect them all.
