I want to buy a second hand laptop from ebay. The posting reads that it is a IBM Lenovo thinkpad T42 in excellent condition. 14″ screen, 64mg ati video card, 40gb. Intel wifi. It costs $345. Do you think this is a good deal? What should I look out for?
There should be a USB cable from the printer that will go into your laptop. You might then need to install some drivers. They can probably be found at HP’s website or with the CD that came with the printer.
I have a laptop lenovo the hard drive is dead do i have to put the same make in it as i dont wunt to it is a sata drive how do i no if the other make will fit it or not is there a special item number or do all sata 2.5 hard drive fit all laptops plez help.
No, the world has 2 main types of hard drives and they go by only a difference in size (2.5 or 3.5) and connection type (IDE or SATA). Some laptops will have a unique connecter that you will need to take off and put on the new one. Look for a 2.5″ 7200 RPM that is 80GB or bigger. Also do not partition the drive unless you will have 2 OS on it.
My daughter has a Lenovo laptop given to her by dad. I am debating if I should borrow her laptop so I can work while out of town or buy a Dell. I would have to upgrade her laptop to wireless internet. Anyone able to recommend Lenovo as worthwhile?
I’ve purchased, literally, a few hundred of them. I think they are good machines, for the most part. Just like every company tho, you are going to get lemons, then it boils down to support. I always got good support, but then I paid for the “gold” support, and bought in bulk.

If you’ve been in photography at the professional or even serious amateur level for any amount of time, you’ve probably already been “instructed” – either directly or by indoctrination – in what kind of computer you need to buy when the time comes: three syllables, starts with “M.” You know, the one played by the hip floppy-haired guy in those TV commercials that used to be funny.
If Apple has been a dominant player for awhile now for graphics-intensive applications, with cross-platform compatibility no longer the concern that it once was, a photographer or graphic designer’s choice to use a Mac versus a PC system is largely a personal – rather than a professional or technological – one these days. Many creatives stick to Macs because that’s what they know, but for graphics use there are some increasingly compelling options on the PC side as well.
As a photographer (and a longtime dual-platform user), I was intrigued by the announcement of Lenovo’s new ThinkPad W700. With Lenovo’s reputation for building ultra-reliable business notebooks, the decision to dive head-first into a high-end mobile graphics system like the W700 may seem like a strange one. And if Lenovo’s targeting any single market with this device, it’s unquestionably photographers: sure, if you work in any kind of design the W700 could be a great workstation companion, but with copious storage space, an excellent screen, a built-in digitizer, and an on-board color calibration system, Lenovo is clearly taking a direct shot at the relatively closed and insular pro photo market. To my knowledge, nothing else on the market offers the W700’s concentration of photographer-friendly features.

The ThinkPad T61 14.1″ widescreen notebook was recently released by Lenovo as an update to the T60 series. The T61 uses the new Intel Centrino Duo platform (Santa Rosa) and offers a number of design updates.
The ThinkPad T61 is a premium product with a durable build, it is geared towards business users or simply those willing to pay a bit more to get something that won’t fall apart after 1-year of use. For somebody that travels a lot or relies on their notebook to earn a livelihood, the build and reliability factor is probably more important than having the latest and greatest components inside.
So how does the T61 excel build-wise? Basically the same as its predecessor T-series notebooks did. The T61 body is a rugged plastic that does not flex. Inside the stiff and thick plastic casing is a magnesium roll cage in both the lid and main chassis. The lid on the previous T60 was a magnesium material, while the lid on the T61 is a plastic composite with a magnesium “roll cage” plate inside. The reason for plastic now being used in the lid is to allow better penetration of radio waves, such as 802.11 and WWAN, thus providing greater wireless range and signal strength.
The keyboard remains the same between the T61 and T60 — meaning it’s once again excellent. The only difference is that now there’s more room on the keyboard side areas since the notebook body is wider, the speakers have been relocated to this extra real estate. The keyboard is spill proof and has two drain holes to make sure if you do happen to spill your morning Starbucks coffee, the liquid is carried away from sensitive components and out through the bottom of the notebook
The thick metal hinges that attach the screen are very rigid and ensure the screen does not wobble. You’ll need two hands to adjust and open the screen as the hinges are very tight. The double screen latch system locks securely to make sure the screen stays down when being carried around.
The hard drive is protected within the magnesium roll cage and shock mounted. Even if your T61 is dropped the included Active Protection System (APS) software will work with the on board accelerometer to detect a fall situation and end hard drive activity to prevent data loss.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is an update and evolution of the ThinkPad X61 12.1″ screen ultraportable and, as the name suggests, borrows a bit from the design cue of the much praised ThinkPad X300 ultra-slim laptop. To be sure, the X200 is not as expensive nor as cutting edge as the X300, the high-end features and supermodel thin X300 outdo what you’ll get design-wise with the X200. With that said, the ultraportable X200 certainly has a lot to like about it, offers better performance than the X300 and has a more reasonable price. This review will delve into the features and updates the X200 has to the previous X61.
Although the X200 is indeed smaller than its ThinkPad counterparts, it still packs the same power. Our review unit comes with a new Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40GHz processor from the Intel Montevina family, and it’s definitely no slouch. The option for speedy SSD storage, 4GB of RAM and Intel Turbo memory can all contribute to a powerhouse in a small package.
With all this newly found power under the hood you might be wondering if the X200 is a power monger that will drain the battery like it’s its job and generate so much heat you can warm your nearby coffee. This is not the case, incredibly battery life capability has increased over the X61 and the laptop remains very cool, indeed cooler than the X61.
