Advice needed centenarians and hi-res W520 or new and low resolution W530?
Hello people!
I'd appreciate your advice and your experience to help me with my contemplation.
Im a CAD (solidworks, autocad, revit) and graphics (adobe, sony vegas) user, I need a new machine because my x200t do not support the load more...
I have a limited budget, and I have two options with the same price (of Lenovo in any case):
A demo version of W520:
Machine type/model: 42844 MG
Intel Core i7-2860QM - 2.5 GHz
2 x 4 GB 500 GB 7200 RPM
15.6 inches (1920 x 1080 nVidia 2000M 2 GB)
DVD - Rec
WiF, cornflower, WWAN
RPF 9elements color sensor Cam card reader
Windows 7 Pro 64
New W530:
Intel Core i7-3720QM - 4 c - 2.6 GHz
8GB 500 GB 7200 RPM + 32 GB mSATA
15.6 inch (1600 x 900 nVidia Quadro 1100 M)
DVD - Rec WiFi color sensor of fingerprint 4-in-1 card reader
Backlit keyboard 9 cell cam
Windows 7 Pro 64
I would buy something and forget the upgrade for the next 3 years...
I'd appreciate advice.
Kind regards
Gili
- Do not spend money for the color sensor. Buy a sensor of external color that you can use the laptop monitor and your internal display.
- Why do you have 32 GB on the W530 mSATA? Go with an SSD as a single disc, or go with an SSD in the main Bay and the HARD drive in an adapter ultra bay. I don't think that the 32 GB mSATA is logical from the financial point of view as a disk cache only.
- Do you need the cam on the on the W530, which should save money as well.
2000M (W520) vs... K1000M (W530)
Both have 192 cores, 2 GB of Ram, bandwidth, same memory, same version of OpenGL, shader model directX version PCI-E generation FP32 and Optimus.
Differences: K1000M gives you DisplayPort 1.2 and the 2000M is only DisplayPort 1.1. TDP is less than 10W on the K1000M.
See this pdf to more details.
For graphics cards will perform more or less the same (W530 could be able to turbo graphics or more processor because of less PDT). You will benefit from the additional performance of the 3720? If so, then I'd go with the W530.
I normally recommend Win 7 Home Premium and not Pro, since they both will come with a $14.99 to Win 8 Pro upgrade. I guess you want to stay on Win 7, at least until the 8 is on SP1, if not for the life of the machine. So Win7 Pro might be good for you, if you need functionality.
You what you need to consider is: the processor in the W530 will benefit you more than the screen on the W520 and you prefer one keyboard on the other.

Embedded Fonts and low resolution PDF
Hi guys,.
I have Acrobat Pro 9. I've used Acrobat Pro 7 some time ago and it was great to have option of embedded fonts. I read that if I save the PDF file in high resolution (printing for example) fonts will always be integrated. The thing is I want to make a Low Res PDF for the Web but Embedded fonts so that everyone will see the Garamond type I choose or if they decide to print it, they can do it and maintain its design.
Can I do this?
Thanks for any info!
See you soon,.

In InDesign, just use File > export and choose preset for smaller file size. Which will integrate your fonts (the subsets that would be good enough) and reduce the image color resolution 100ppi.
If you want it lower, like in Acrobat, go to the "Compression" settings and put them at a lower resolution it.

Satellite P500 no internet and low resolution after installing Win 7
Hello everyone :))
I had a serious virus on my system, so I had to reinstall Windows 7 completely.
However, I do not just roll back the system to its factory settings. Given that I had a Windows 7 disc I bought much earlier, I decided to use it to reinstall the whole system.
Now I don't know how to connect to my wireless network (before reinstalling, everything was fine, and I just had to choose my network in the list) and the display settings have changed: the maximum screen resolution is now 1280xsmth, at the front, it was much higher.
Could you tell me what is the problem?
Just a question; recover the laptop using the Toshiba or Toshiba HDD recovery recovery disk? Or have you installed a clean Win 7?
If you have installed own Win 7 then I guess that you didn't install the WLan driver and display driver.

I am a user of Windows 7 and I have a problem with setting the screen of my laptop. Suddenly, the screen reached and resolution has decreased. I tried to go to the setting menu to change it but I could not because the menu has changed as well. Only display setting menu is generic PnP monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Normally, on the display configuration, the recommended resolution is displayed right? Now, my laptop didn't. I don't know what happened. Is there anyone who has encountered the same problem? Pls.Help.
Hello
Do a system restore in Safe Mode, if necessary, until the problem.
"In Windows 7 system restore:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/products/features/system-restore
'Advanced options boot (including safe mode).
"The Advanced Boot Options screen lets you start Windows in advanced troubleshooting mode. You can access the menu by turning on your computer and pressing the F8 key before starting Windows (press F8 at the rate of about once per second)"
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
GOLD:
Access the site on your computer or the manufacturer of the graphics card > drivers download Section > then key your computer or graphics card model number (depending on where you looked it upward) > find your operating system > find two graphics / video or from the Chipset drivers and download and install.
Then change the resolution.

Artifacts and low resolution in the poster image
Hi, I have real problems with poor quality poster image / final, still the video coverage.
I have a mp4 H.264 that I created in After Effects and inserted using the media panel in the DPS.
As you see below, he plays on loading the page, and I chose the cover over to be the image of the poster when she ends of in the Panel inlays of Folio. I put the video to stop on the last page.
When the video stops, you can see all the artifacts around the text that I expect to be as sharp as the original PSD file, I downloaded as the poster image.
I am doing wrong or is there something that can further improve the quality of the final? Is the same poster displayed image or is it the last frame of the video? (I guess that's the case)
I hope you can help.
Thank you
I've sorted it!
Abandoned altogether the poster image and re-created the elements of the film that I would like in InDesign on the page and the film plays to the end and finally reveals the page under. I was overloading the things.
