She wants a 15" laptop, and HDMI out would be a plus. 90% of the time it'll be used for watching Netflix & Hulu, and the other 10% of the time she'll be using it to manage her budget, send emails, and work from home. Keep your eye on Lenovo Outlet or Dell Outlet.

So I'm trying to deal with an X1 Carbon where the mouse pointer keeps jumping to the top left of the screen every few seconds, bouncing around and doing click+drag erratically. IBM support recommended that I reimage the thing, and they're sending out recovery discs. This is the CEO's laptop, so I'd like to get something done sooner. I'm about to see if the same thing happens in Safe Mode, and if it doesn't I'll uninstall pointing devices from Device Manager. Any other ideas? EDIT: It still happens in Safe Mode. In any case I uninstalled the two instances of mice from DevMgr, plus the ThinkNav. Just rebooted, let's see... EDIT: Didn't help. Doing System Restore. EDIT: System Restore didn't help either.

Is there a way to determine what WiFi cards are whitelisted in my BIOS? I have an old ThinkPad SL510 and I want to put in a better wireless card.

If you can afford a 240GB SSD, go for that instead. Bigger SSD means more memory channels in use, which is supposed to be a good thing.

The SSD Megathread highly favors the Samsung 840 EVO, so good choice there. I bought two over the Black Friday weekend but I haven't gotten around to installing them yet.

mastershakeman posted:I'm going to be working on my mom's 540p christmas day, taking out the hard drive and putting in a SSD. She demanded having windows 7 on it, despite it costing $50 more, so is there anything I need to know? I did this a few years ago for my sister and recall just burning a dvd, but I can't remember if I need to buy a dual layer dvd or not. Will a single layer do the trick? I'd rather just do that instead of a fresh windows 7 install (which would be a pain as well, as I'd need to get a legitimate iso) because I'm worried about random driver issues down the road and don't want to have to remotely diagnose them. Just get yourself an 8GB flash drive and follow the instructions here to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. It will copy the contents of the downloaded ISO (or the DVD if you have it) and make a bootable flash drive that will install Windows for you.

mastershakeman posted:Hm, ok. I've used this before as well. I'm a bit worried about drivers though, as well as making sure I get the right ISO. If your mom's laptop has a Windows 7 sticker on it with a product key, you'll need the OEM Windows 7 download. I have exactly the flash drive you need with it loaded on, if you're still in town you can borrow it (I'm in Lincoln Square). As for drivers just get the network drivers on a flash drive first, install them after Windows installs, then get the rest from Lenovo's website.

In which models of Yoga can the RAM be upgraded/replaced after purchase? I've done it in the IdeaPad Yoga 13, however a user bought a ThinkPad Yoga S1 and I found out the hard way that it can't be upgraded. Still, other users are interested in Yogas and I'd like to know which ones can be taken apart and upgraded easily.

So the E545 has the separate mouse buttons, but doesn't have the OneLink dock connector. Does Lenovo have anything with a OneLink port and separate mouse buttons?

Jerk McJerkface posted:I'm sure. There's a few Youtube videos on it. There's no small little panel that covers the RAM like other laptops, but the bottom shell can be opened and the RAM card is accessible that way. The DIMMS are not soldered in either, like most Ultrabooks. I see, well that's good but I did call Lenovo a while back and asked which Yogas can be upgraded by the user, they told me that none of their sealed systems are meant to be and doing so voids the warranty.

blowingupcasinos posted:I genuinely need some help. It hasn't started up properly so it prompts to run Windows in a safe mode. It gets past the initial black and white loading screen and into the low res oldschool Windows loading. This is where it hangs and keeps going for hours. If I had to guess what was going on it would be the Crucial M4 I have installed in it (don't be mad, it was cheap when I bought it). When things like this have happened to my friends' boxes I'd just start over, but I kinda like what I got going on this laptop and don't want to lose all my precious data. Hilariously I don't mean porn. Put the SSD in a USB enclosure, attach it to another computer. Use CrystalDiskInfo to check the health of that drive.

It probably doesn't matter too much what I get her.. but does anyone have any strong objections regarding the ThinkPad E-series? Is she actually going to use it on the couch, running on battery? If it'll always be plugged in, just get her an all-in-one.

Flipperwaldt posted:I'm looking at this: I've been imaging and deploying an i5, 720p version of this for a client and it's a pretty solid machine. Generally ThinkPad Edge, while being a notch below ThinkPad proper, is a step up from IdeaPad in build quality. That said, definitely get a mouse, the clickable one-piece touchpad isn't much fun. The only HP models that get a nod in this thread are EliteBooks and some ProBooks.

I don't know whether you'd have damaged it or not, but as it's new it's under warranty, so Lenovo will replace it if it's faulty. SA-Mart is a much better option than Craigslist.

The Wizard of Oz posted:I got an old HP Pavilion tx2617ca that I love to bits but its one major problem is that it's hot and loud. What are my most effective, proven options here? I can and will do anything. It's a queer little brick, 30.5cm (12in) by 22.2cm (8.74in) by my measurements. 1) Get an air duster and blow the dust out of all the vents. 2) If you're comfortable applying Arctic Silver or the like, from a cursory GIS it looks like you can remove the keyboard, then the heatsink and you can apply some AS3.

rivid posted:Hey guys, I'm still ruing a Lenovo R61i I bought in 2008. As you can imagine, the thing can run like slug sometimes. It's got two gigs of ram and a 1.86 Ghz processor. According to the motherboard that's in it (specs here), I can upgrade to a 2.80 GHz processor, and 4 gigs of RAM. Well, 3 I suppose, because I can't support a 64-bit processor. Right? Anyways I would be able to get this stuff for less than forty dollars. What do you guys think? I think it beats $600 for a new laptop for the time being. That chipset has 64-bit drivers, but the crucial.com configurator says max RAM for your model is 4GB. I'd go ahead and max it out at 4 so you'll get 3.?? and keep your RAM in dual channel configuration. The major speed upgrade will come from an SSD, there's a megathread about them here.
