Buying a laptop Lenovo W530
This is my first post in this community. So a warm Hello from me.
I am a candidate for the doctorate in mechanical engineering and am looking for a laptop that is well suited to the rigors of my University newspaper. My use typically involves the execution of an application of CAD (computer aided design) based in parallel with a finite element software/Solver. With my purchase of a MBP (3 years ago), I use the computer in my lab that has 16 GB of RAM. I found this satisfactory performance.
I use this as a starting point for my waiting for my laptop. The only extra feature on my wish list (which I learned after reading this forum) is the use of a hard disk as my 'main' storage media (where my OS is installed) for faster boot times and performance. I assumed that it would justify the need for a secondary hard drive for storage of files that I don't use on a base daily (music/pictures/pdf etc.).
In reading some of the messages on the community, I realize that most users wishing a powerful configuration, choose to buy the basic level of the Lenovo store W530 offer and then buy the hardware upgrades from online dealers and install them.
I could really use the entry of this community to help me decide a good configuration of 'base' to buy in the webshop of Lenovo. I want to buy a machine that I might have the possibility of adding more RAM (DIMM connectors?), if you need to be at a later stage (on the 16 GB, for example, 2 years from now).
Finally, it would be really good if the community could point me to picture that have been published on how to make these upgrades without messing up your computer.
Budget wise, I think my ceiling would be around $2000-$2500 at the end of the day (initial purchase + updates).
Thank you in advance for your time in this regard.

Welcome to the forum!
In the BIOS, "SATA AHCI" mode must be changed to "Compatibility" to the HARD drive first because Windows doesn't have SATA drivers.
It will be useful.

nVidia graphics card GeForce Go 7300 on laptop Lenovo 3000 N100 0768-family failure
I took my Lenovo 3000 N100 0768 - family portable computer to a computer laptop shop the other day because I couldn't get anything to appear on the screen to power on and the report I got back from telling them that the motherboard needed a "BGA rework.
I then received a message "repair has denied" on their tracking system, so phoned and someone said that they could not repair or replace the nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics card but I could come and collect the laptop because it is.
I was wondering if I can do something myself to try to make it work again until I was hard and the parties separated on an auction site.
Is there a graphics card that seems to be the one that I had on this auction site and I was wondering how it would be difficult to install the card and if it would solve the problem or if the laptop needs a new motherboard.
Thank you.
If you ask my personal opinion, don't waste your time and money to replace main Board.
Just buy new laptop if you can.
Edit: this marker is as resolved.

Windows Live Family Safety ruined my laptop Lenovo software!
Windows Live Family Safety ruined my laptop Lenovo software! It won't even turn on now! I loaded web filtering toolbar Bing only and immediately put in the parental control settings, the machine starts randomly stop and failing to start properly so far: HE WON ' T EVEN POWER up! I ' M FURIOUS!
Hello
I understand how frustrating. Generally, the software does not affect any material of the computer/laptop. If can still run your laptop on in any case, we recommend that you press f8 at start up and run it in safe mode. If you were able to run in safe mode, we recommend to uninstall Windows Live Family Safety to isolate the cause of this problem. You can see the link below for how to do it:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/uninstall-or-change-a-program
If you were unable to complete the steps above, then we recommend that you contact your laptop manufacturer for more help. It is possible that there is a problem with the hardware itself (hard disk, memory, battery, etc.).
Thank you!

I want to know if there is a method of sharing WORD with my new computer laptop? I have not bought, but the guys at PC world say they will give me an agreement with WORD if I buy this laptop. I think I already have WORD on my desktop PC, so I was wondering if it can be shared with the laptop?
It depends on which version of Word or office you have. The license in retail box is good for 3 PCs, the OEM version is only good for one, on which it is installed. You can buy the family version and student for about $140 or, if necessary, and you can download the Word VIEWER free Microsoft web site. If you happen to have the disc for a version with a site license, you can also install that, but most of the people have no access to it. Most new computers these days come preloaded with a trial version which is good for a month or two, but after that, you are supposed to pay to the top. Regardless of the version you get, you will be able to open existing documents.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

want to know if the photosmart C309g is compatible with the laptop Lenovo B50-80
For compatibility, you should check if the laptop has the required ports to connect to the printer and a compatible operating system.
Lenovo B5080 has 1 x USB 2.0 and 2 x USB 3.0 ports and comes with the operating system Windows 10.
The laptop Lenovo has required port. But Windows 10 operating system drivers are not available for this printer. The short answer is - NO
However, you can follow the instructions on this link to try to get the printer to work with the operating system Window 10:

I have a laptop Lenovo bought in the spring of 2008 running on Vista Home Premium. After years of basically no problem, I got warnings my memory was almost full. I'm no computer guy, I'm a retired OTR trucker who now lives for people with disabilities. I checked my system and found Lenovo had two partitions on the hard drive. The main logic were my programs were only 30gig on a disk hard 150 gigabytes.
After talking to some friends who know more then me and research, I copied all my personal files on a stick to 4gig and erased the hard drive. Spent New Years day adaptation of files, wipe the HD, install Vista again and then 6 and hours of updates.
Monday, I installed my old files, installed new software and reinstall some of my previous, as well as several updates of Windows.
Tuesday a finer adjustment and more windows updates.
Today, Wednesday, right off the bat I installed another Windows update. Update has been installed, computer shut down, restarted, then the computer stopped at step 1 of 3 @ 97%. I went for half an hour to come back to an error screen telling me I had a corrupted file and to reinstall Vista and using my factor disc repair system. I wasn't allowed this option.
I subsequently through trying different restarts that File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe has been corrupted or damaged or missing Windows update attempt. Given that I had my Windows disk that I was never worried before making a boot disk. I/we (family of 6) do not have the financial means to purchase recovery discs, go to a tech help. We are ourselves. Can someone help me out here? Are all my personal details on my laptop, a lot of money and time tied up in programs, I can't access.
I don't know how this forum works. My email is * address email is removed from the privacy *.
P. S.
With all this, if I have to reinstall windows I better upgrade to a 32-bit on a 64-bit? This will cause problems with existing programs? I see a noticeable improvement in speed? I checked and I can't change to 64-bit.
Hello
Since you have a Lenovo, you can try to get to WinRE among advanced startup options (f8) and performa than a system restore or if you must organize a drive to install Windows Vista full version and try to perform a system restore in Windows recovery environment and check if that helps.
For more information, you can consult the following articles: -
