Possibly you may find and get to enable hidden settings in the registry. This worked for older Synaptics touchpads, though, but I don't know about the new "Precision Touchpads".

It depends on usage. SSD will increase boot times and drive based tasks like loading programs and reading lots of files. There will be speed improvements, but are they that necessary? If you reboot often, yes, if not, not really. If you work primarily on the web or have a lot of RAM, you'll get clos...

Re: ThinkPad T510i, I3 320M, Intel Graphics Need assistance modding
Mind you the TDP of the W520's Quadro 2000m is 55watts compared to 35w TDP of the T530 NVS 5400m. But it is true, the most powerful laptop would be W520 or W530. But you would not be able to use a 90W Power Supply with a W-series, you would need a large 135w or 170w brick. Thankfully W520 does have ...

Re: ThinkPad T510i, I3 320M, Intel Graphics Need assistance modding
For gaming T510 is even worse than previous year's T500 w/ 128 bit bus Radeon 3650. The T510's dedicated 64 bit bus NVS 3100m graphics are maybe 25% faster than its Intel HD integrated graphics and are a waste of power in an Optimus-lacking chipset with already poor energy efficiency. The NVS 3100m ...

I had a similar predicament with a T410. Disassembling the lid and reseating the LCD cable where it connects to the screen fixed the issue. I had already tried reseating the cable at the motherboard connector and that didn't work. If you can get the computer into an OS, helpful to have an external m...

Re: Death of a T400 - a story of an unwanted laptop
The highlight of the '09 generation are, for me, the T500 and R500. R500 has a very sturdy case, it's plastic but very firm feeling all around. R500 and T500 can be refitted with higher resolution screen options than the 14.1" models. Another pro is the ease and straightforwardness of disassembling ...
