I think the Power Manager is good enough to monitor the battery.

What sort of monitoring are you looking for?

Haha! just asking if there is a need for extra monitoring software or any thing that is recommended? and also should we apply screen protector??

 

[Edling]

I just join too. I love my Thinkpad T410!! Ya any good program to reccomend. Erm anyone uninstall the anti-virus that was given in the thinkpad from poly?

i am using the Microsoft security essentials.

Nope. I think the tools preloaded with the Thinkpad is sufficient enough.

Screen protector to each of its own preference. I prefer to keep the screen in matt to reduce reflection when used indoors.

The only thing I will recommend is to get a nice sleeve to protect your baby.

an probably a mouse...like this Razor Orochi - one of the few good looking bluetooth mice (in black)

Works as good as it looks...

 

[YewBoon]

can I check if anyone knows?

X200 bought Oct 2008, is using what ram?

i use CPU-Z to check, but i can only see the RAM type is DDR3, Single Channel & DRAM Frequency of 532 MHz.

I wished to add another 1GB ram into the notebook, but dunno which ram to purchase.

pls advice. thanks!

PC3-8500 1066 MHz .

 

[YewBoon]

got so fast bus speed meh?

 

[cstrikecz]

There's 2200 MHz for your information .
By the way, 533 x2 = 1066 MHz .

I find the touchpad on my X201 too small and too awkard. End up use trackpoint.

Transferred my Logitech VX Nano mouse from my X61 to this X201. It's a nano receiver which I leave it on the notebook. Nextday going to buy Logitech Darkfield mouse. Mouse is something that cannot be stinged.

Oh, I realise my X201 set bought from RP does not have bluetooth though brochure state so.

Still waiting for my set of X201 to come to me... I tried the touchpad on the demo set and it seemed alright.

No bluetooth? That's like not acceptable! How can a business notebook be without this basic necessity? Should go back to them and KPKB!

Does X201 comes with a built-in WWAN/3G ?

 

[jookee]

Anyone knows where to buy the X201 for best deal? Any authorised Lenovo's shop that offers the best price?

atm i think poly best price ? only 1.6k.

It comes with the built-in antenna, but doesn't come with the Gobi 2000 3G module that it supports.

Lenovo SG not selling the module due to no approval from IDA. Can either ship an unlocked version from overseas, buy a ExpressCard 3G Modem, or use your USB dongle lor.

X301 is damm expensive for the portability (bulk cost goes to the SSD).

I usually use a can of compressed air to blow out the dust from the keyboard or use a vacum cleaner for a deeper clean.

Golden rule is to prevent than to remedy. So, don't cut fingernails or eat infront of your laptop.

Anyone know how and where to buy a X201t online?

Because the authorized Lenovo shops doesn't offer the specifications i wanted and
i couldn't find any 'shop online' from lenovo SG website.
