    Question i9-11900k or 11900kf

    Hello, I know this has been a discussion in the past but I can't seem to find anything relevant in search so here it is again. I have an "old" 11th gen intel system with an i5-11600K cpu. I've been happy with it, but I have some tasks that could use a little more cpu so I'm considering maxing...

    chromebook reviews?

    Anyone know of any sites with chromebook reviews? Maybe a comparison between the ACER and Samsung chromebooks? I found a few sites that compare the specs, but none that did a real review or detailed comparison...

    T420s amateur field report

    I bought a Lenovo T420s to replace my now deceased IBM T41p, and I’ve used it enough to write a somewhat rambling field report. First, the short version. Pros: Keyboard, size, weight, overall feature set, keyboard, speed, keyboard, styling, keyboard. (You can probably tell that I...

    lenovo X1

    Sexy beast, lenovo X1 on anandtech front page! http://www.anandtech.com/show/4283/lenovo-x1-leaked-sandy-bridge-gets-thin Macbook air thin, thinkpad styling, sandy bridge i5. I think that the screen quality will make or break this one. It's only 1366x768 but if it has a high quality...

    stupid ordering mistake

    Gotta rant... Made a dumb ordering mistake. I put a T420 and T420s into my lenovo shopping cart, and was trying to decide between the two, when my old laptop decided to play "not gonna boot up" for 3 hours. Enough is enough, time to order. It was early and before breakfast, so I apparently...

    strange t41p problem

    Maybe some of you guys have heard about this problem. My t41p will work fine for hours or even days, but then it'll crash and for the next hour it sometimes won't even boot. I suspect a hardware problem because sometimes typing on the keyboard, or using the mousepad, or even adjusting the...

    almost bought t420s today, but...

    Priced out a nice T420s with the NVS 4200M graphics and i7 cpu, and it fit within my budget. But... The advertised "rapidboot" tech isn't available yet. It uses an SSD in addition to the normal hard drive to decrease boot times to as low as 10 seconds. Seems like a nice option, but it's not...

    strange lenovo thinkpad marketing

    Ran across some strange lenovo marketing... Their youtube marketing channel had an intro to the T420s, which seemed pretty nice until the end. The guy showing the laptop was talking about the HD camera, the HD microphones, and the 16:9 HD screen format "just like your TV". That's all great...

    Thinkpad t420s available, but no i7 until April 19

    Title says it all... Thinkpad T420s is on sale now but no i7 or discreet graphics until April 19. Looks nice, but priced nearly double of the T420 and T520. Sales rep says "no BD drives on business line". Stupid, absolutely stupid. I didn't get a macbook air because I didn't want an...

    T420s specs out

    Website says available "late March", which is soon, right? :) http://shop.lenovo.com/us/products/p...20s/index.html It has just about everything on my wishlist. Anti-glare screen, I7 cpu, usb 3.0, 3x3 wireless N, SD card slot, etc etc. It looks like the main drawback is going to be...

    lenovo T410s, Portege r700, or wait?

    I have an ibm T41p and it is a great laptop but despite a 2ghz dothan cpu upgrade and a new reasonably fast hard drive, it is getting too slow. I'm wondering what to buy, and when. Here are my thoughts. I got my wife an i5 based toshiba portege r700, and it is very nice except the keyboard...
