Lenovo Support Site Slowness

#1 Post by retsam » Tue Oct 16, 2012 11:38 am

I've just re-installed windows 7 64bit on my T500 and upon trying to get all my drivers from Lenovo I am experiencing MASSIVE slowness! Is anyone else experiencing this? I've tried it from several different computers but I get the same slow response when I get to the drivers and software section. Also, does anyone know of an alternate location to get the Lenovo T500 drivers?

It is slow. Actually, things improved in the last day or two. Last week was MUCH worse

There's a way around it when the site is timing out.

Wow, a major pc manufacturer with a completely unusable support website. Leaving my laptop as a paper weight while I wait to get the proper drivers and updates from them. :cry:
