New X220T slow...

#1 Post by jacobtc » Mon Jan 02, 2012 2:24 pm

Hi,
I've just converted from a Dell Latitude E6400 to a Thinkpad X220T, and I love the IPS display! However there is a thing that annoys me a lot, which is the boot time, my X220T is pretty top spec with a i7 2620, 8GB ram, and the 320GB HDD, yes I know, it isn't a SSD, but I would've hoped it had lasted me until I got the money for a mSata drive, however with this slow boot time it is driving me crazy! Okay to the point, when I got the laptop I immediately re-installed a fresh copy of win7 ultimate 64bit, however I left the recovery partition, I started installing all the necessary Thinkvantage programs, via Thinkpad System Update, I also enrolled my thump via the Thinkvantage fingerprint software, and turned off the system, I then turned it on via the fingerprint reader, however there is a pretty big delay when it stops at the "Please wait..." screen, before i logs in, around 5-10 seconds, also when I'm at the desktop, just starting firefox takes around 5-10 seconds as well, with a i7 I would never have believed to see it take that long :( I also uninstalled the Rapidboot thing, which was suggested to do in another thread... What else could be wrong?


Regards
Jacob

My X220 (i7, 8GB, SSD, WIN7-ULT64) arrived with the power options set to 'Maximize Battery Life'. Switched it to 'High Performance' and WOW! Firefox loads under 1 second.
