W520 Downloads & Drivers

#1 Post by MikeM » Sun Apr 03, 2011 11:05 pm

This page is a bit tricky to find, but by using my L33t H4x0R3r sK1LL2 I managed to locate it so I could share it with you all here that are drooling all over your shirts over the new W520 computers. 8)

Have fun with this!

Hi ausmike,

could you please do me a favor and run a spell checker from time to time? I know time is money in our business and my posts are far from perfect, but a post like this really does hurt.

Thanks a lot,

I thought MikeM was just being silly about the Elite Skills. (Though it does take quite a few clicks to drill all the way down.)

The fact of the matter is that when I first posted the link, you could not drill down to the latest models, nor were they locatable via google search, so posting them after I managed to locate them was something that I thought would be helpful. Lenovo may have changed their links to actually include the new models in the drill down after I posted the link and somehow you are obtuse to the fact that they were at one time not readily something that someone could find. Thank you for taking my sincere attempt at helping folks and, in your own small mind, negating it to nothingness in a most public fashion.

Perhaps in the future you may include the fact that the internet changes in your thinking process before you submit your "observations" and comments.

Cheers!
