Info Needed for T530

#1 Post by EAkamai » Tue Nov 19, 2013 10:31 am

Since their new "Customize This PC" app doesn't work on 4 different browsers on any of my systems, I'm unable to find out:

1. What are the exact specs of their bottom line offering (proc, hdd, video, screen types etc)
2. Do they offer the Ultrabay so I can change hdd or optical drive the way I do with T61?
If so, where do we find info on it? It's like voodoo trying to find out on their website. Their video doesn't even mention it.
3. Is it possible to dual boot Linux like the T61? Read [on this forum] where someone is having trouble with that.
4. I'm looking to get a more readable screen size. I have the 4:3 1024 x 768 on my T61 'cause I can see it.
(sometimes I actually use 1440 x 900 so I can dual use it with an HDTV via a video switch).
I thought the best I could do would be 1360 or 1366 x 768 if that's possible. If that screen sucks, could I get the
higher res one and then back it off without sacrificing too much quality? I'm Old School. What would suck for a
graphic artist is fine for me. I also want to use without having to wear reading glasses.
5. What about purchasing via Amazon? We see some good prices and new w/ full manufacturers warranty there.

It's too bad the site changed from something I had no problems with to this nightmare. :evil:
Even using User Agent Switcher doesn't help.

Thanks for any help!

If you have Microsoft Windows on any of your computers, run Windows Update, or even better, upgrade to Microsoft Update and run it. Update your video driver. Update your browser to the current version. The Lenovo T530 configuration works with Opera 18, IE9, Safari 5.1.7, Firefox 25, and Google Chrome 31 on my computer (can't use a more recent IE version, as i'm using Vista).

Tabook has detailed specs:

It might be that the 15.6" HD (1366*768) panels have rather narrow viewing angles.

Sorry everyone!
I was blocking the referrer in all the browsers.
I thought I had checked that but I guess I missed it. :oops:

I thank you both for the links! Helped a whole lot!
