Does the Lenovo K300 Ideacentre have a slot for a graphics card?

I want to buy a new computer and the Lenovo K300-53162 seems to be just what I need. I do, however, want to add a graphics card to give it more power. Does it have a slot for that? If so, what type of slot is it and what card(s) would fit in it?

answer:

Yes, it has a PCIe slot. (check the site below.)
It doesn’t list the power supply, but that is what would limit your video card. Any PCIe card will “fit”, but you need to find out the size of the power supply to determine how powerful of a card you can run.

What is the warranty on the screen for a Lenovo S10 netbook?

I’ve heard that some netbook manufacturers do not warranty the screens on their netbooks for the 1 year period that is given to the other parts of their netbooks. Does anyone know what the Lenovo warranty is for the screen on their S10 netbooks? What about the screen warranties for other netbook manufacturers?

answer:

S10 has a one year warranty on all parts.
At least at the moment.

How do Lenovo computers compare to HP and Dell desktop Computers?

How do Lenovo computers compare to HP and Dell desktop Computers?

Which one is better and why? I need one to use adobe photoshop,illustrator & inDesign, don’t want to spend a lot of money on one then having it fall apart a year later. I’m not so familiar with Lenovo, I have heard Dell used broken cheap parts on purpose and there tech support center is in India. HP is a bit on the expensive high end side. I haven’t seen Desktop Computers from Toshiba. Thanks.

It depends on which models you are comparing. Also remember this: Lenovo is a daughter company of IBM, so basically, Lenovo = IBM. I also know that–at least on Newegg–Lenovo and Acer are the only brands of laptop that you can get a high-end graphics chipset AND an i7 CPU for under $1000.

Is a Lenovo ThinkPad W520 good for recording and producing music?

July 28th, 2011

Is a Lenovo ThinkPad W520 good for recording and producing music?

I already have an external sound card so that is not an issue. Looking for a high-quality studio on the go. Will a Lenovo ThinkPad W520 do the job?

The good.
- The performance is really good if you replace the hard drive with something else, in my case a Momentus XT from Seagate.
- The battery lasts quite long.
- Fast graphics. Switch between integrated and bespoke in the BIOS, or automatically.
- Power management.
- Build quality.
- Price vs. performance.

The average
- The screen has got a good resolution, but is very sensitive and has to be configured exactly right. Most low res graphics display poorly, as well as some text fonts.
- The hard drive is quite slow.
- The keyboard feedback is nice, but noisy.
- The weight without the battery is 1.3 kg. The extended battery is quite heavy at 0.5 kg.

Best Laptops for Students

July 28th, 2011

A laptop is no longer just a fashion statement or a luxury that is enjoyed only by the well-to-do community of computer users. In fact, recent market surveys have revealed that laptops are one of the topmost selling electronic products. Present laptop sales are at a much higher level as compared to those of desktop computers. There is one catch though. Laptops do pose users with a major problem - the problem of choice. Choosing a laptop computer is much more difficult as compared to choosing its desktop counterpart. There are a number of nitty-gritties involved when choosing a laptop that perfectly suits your needs. High school or college going students have different computer-related needs as compared to professional software developers. On that note, let us have a look at some of the best laptops for students.

Best Laptops for College Students
Before we move on to enlisting some of the best laptops for students, we need to understand the general computer-related requirements of a college student. Typically, college students require laptops and notebook computers for doing project-related work, academic research, making presentations, taking notes while in lectures and seminars, etc. (I have already taken it for granted that students will use their laptops for playing games, listening to music and watching movies). Therefore, in terms of computer hardware, the bare minimum hardware requirements of an ideal student’s laptop are as follows:

    Processor with a minimum capacity of 1.8 GHz or higher
    Minimum 1 GB of RAM (preferably 2GB)
    Minimum hard drive capacity of 120 GB (preferably 160 GB)
    CD drive with both read-write facility (DVD equivalent will be even better)
    Minimum 13 inch display screen
    Minimum 2 hours of laptop battery backup
    4 USB ports, 1 Ethernet port
    Bluetooth connectivity
    At least 64 MB of video i.e. graphics memory (preferably 128 MB)
    Sturdy body and easy-to-carry
    Last but not the least, modestly priced.

Finding a laptop which fulfills all the above requirements often requires a lot of research on part of the buyer. Many a time, you manage to zero in on a laptop with all the right technical features, only to back out because of the fact that it costs a bomb. Price can often be a deterrent when it comes to choosing a good laptop having a decent hardware configuration. However, the following laptop models are definitely worth a buy when it comes to affordable student laptops.

HP Pavilion dv2 Notebook
This is a new laptop from HP that has recently hit the market. Powered by an AMD Athlon Neo processor, this chic notebook has a spacious 320 GB hard drive, a powerful 4 GB of RAM and an inbuilt 512 MB Radeon HD graphics card. With a screen size of just over 12 inches, it is on the smaller side. However, that makes it all the more portable. Priced at approx $700, it is a great option for students who happen to have some extra pocket money lying around in the bottom of their desk drawers.

Dell Studio 15 Notebook
Another great buy, this laptop is powered by a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. It has a hard drive capacity of up to 320 GB and comes with 4 GB of RAM. It has an inbuilt 256 MB Radeon HD 4570 graphics card along with a DVD combo drive. It has an inbuilt 2.0 Megapixel camera which provides excellent pictures that you can enjoy on its 15.6 inch widescreen HD display. With a starting price of approximately $800, it is slightly on the steeper side, but is a total value-for-money product.

Apple MacBook
Apple computer users will love the new Apple MacBook that comes power-packed with a host of good features. With an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.26 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive, 13.3 inch screen display and with NVIDIA GeForce 9400M taking care of the graphics department, this notebook is surely a leading contender for the ‘best laptop for students’ award. However, the only drawback is its price. Priced in excess of $1000, it is an affordable option to only a select group of college goers.

For those of you who have a budget between $350 to $600 and are willing to compromise a little bit on the technical front, here are a few laptop models for you to consider:

    Dell Inspiron 1318 notebook
    HP G60t laptop
    Toshiba Satellite P205 notebook
    Asus EPC1000HE notebook.

These were some of the best laptops for students. As I sign off, here is a small bit of parting advice. If you’re short on cash and you can’t compromise on hardware specifications, think about buying a good quality used laptop. It is much better than buying a brand new laptop of an inferior quality.

What printer is compatible with a lenovo computer?

July 28th, 2011

What printer is compatible with a lenovo computer?

I have a lenovo computer an I bought a lexmark 300 printer but I guess is not compatible with the computer because I can’t install it and I want to know a compatible mark.

One of my friends asked me this question,i posted it on my forum,the following is the answer:

As long your computer has the right connection (USB) ist does not matter what brand it is.
More imortant is the type of operating system. Some printers have problems with the new
Windows 7. But the problem can be cleared by downloading new drivers for your printer
either from Microsoft or the lexmark website.

Do you think this is a good deal?

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?

How do I connect my Lenovo Thinkpad to my HP printer?

February 18th, 2009

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.
