T520 Sales issues; Linux, IPS, fast car and more!

Hey there! Been a while since I've been back. Did not have many problems with my X 301!

It is high time that I buy a new PC, however! The T520 is - very - convincing. I have a few questions and comments before you buy it if:

  • 1. I see two ways to save money on my order:
  • 1. outside the cache, is there a substantial difference on real matrix between the i7-2820QM (2.30 GHz, 8 MB L3) and the i7-2630QM Sandy Bridge? I mean, will I miss out on all the features? 300 Mhz does not seem much difference, however, with Turbo Boost technology, I could be wrong.
  • 1B. ThinkPad memory is much too expensive. I found kits DDR3 1333 SO-DIMM 8 GB on NewEgg for $85. Is there a reason that I should pay $240 for the "upgrade"? In addition, you should opt for 1066 Mhz SO-DIMM because the CASE is weaker? I read something to that effect on AnandTech earlier.
  • 1 c. HDD, same thing as 1 b; I can get a 750 GB Scorpio Black for $110, but Lenovo would charge me the same for a 500 GB drive.
  • 1 d. Rapid Drive: Sweet, sweet, sweet. Current software is able to take care of this? I guess it will eventually, but the system has to be different to take care of her if I install the Soda Creek mSATA Intel 310? Theoretically, Lenovo will release an update for the BIOS so it can be flashed to leverage more away, right? In addition, Intel of just came out with a 25nm NAND in 320. Probably a good idea to wait for this upgrade, eh?
  • So, I guess that's two questions; the software may be able, and can I install it myself if I get the right hardware? I made a keyboard disposal facility with my X 301 to install a chip WWAN, wasn't bad at all. »
  • 1E. also related to the fast impulse; which adapter WiFi should I choose for this? Just the ThinkPad b/g/n, right? Because the SSD would be placed in the port of mSATA, it's wireless adapter where would also if I had an a better right? They are even better? (This could be subjective... but could be an interesting question.) I noticed the card lists a lot and a half. Which wireless chip goes into half slot, if any?
  • 1F. from my experience, and what I can tell, Lenovo will not be for lack of me or my warranty for the upgrade of my system, correct? $99 is a * beep * bargain for an extended warranty and peace of mind! AppleCare is $ 349. I have to pay all these geniuses.
  • 2. the FHD 1920 x 1080 is the slab IPS, correct? 95% range and 270 nits, as indicated on the data sheet. The reason why I ask is, it is not published on the generator type screen.
  • Comment; I don't mind 16:9, just put some dock tips and tabs on the side. Firefox 4 is released, it will not be a big deal to switch to Chrome for the tabs on the side; Chrome on: option flags has never worked for me.
  • 3 Linux. What works and what won't? I'm waiting for the fingerprint reader to not be compatible everything which, although I am surprised. I think that the DisplayPort adapter will be fine. Never used eSATA, but I expect it works fine as well. I really wonder about the discreet Quadro. Anyone who has a mobile Quadro might be able to comment on performance and display drivers? In addition, it is not a configuration of Optimus, is it? Terrible support on this issue, from what I can tell.
  • Comment: I much prefer me some Ubuntu, especially with some 11.04 on the horizon. Yes, Yes, the unit is very well. I wish they would have gotten the new Wayland display server works, but I guess it's better if they flesh out all the kinks...
  • It is not a deal breaker if I can't do Linux. Would be just nice, it's such a fun OS, and I use it as my exclusive system on my X 301.
  • 4 power. With the 6-cell battery life is announced as 7.7 hours. Impressive application! I don't know that I could even approach in Windows. I can wish to stay with Windows and Linux not for that reason alone. ... A 9-cell will protrude. Just like a slice.
  • 5. discrete GPU. I want to just comment with 48 CUDA cores, it sounds like a beast of a part. Just curious, is this GDDR3 or GDDR5? I'm assuming that the latter, but you never know with Nvidia. But... I do not know the question that arises is begging: run Crysis?
?
  • Finally, 6. Is there a way I can get deals on the T520 right now? I have a finger that itches, just not wait... If this isn't the case, I'm cool to pay for more soft material on the market!
  • In any case, I hope some people here might be able to add their own thoughts on the things I've discussed. I hope that's not too redundant to other threads here, too. If so, link me to the top!
    Also, are not obliged to answer all these questions at once. I'd be surprised if a person is Len337 good enough answer to everybody, and I don't expect that. It is the power of a community, after all.

    1E. can't remember of the top of my head at 23:40 on the thing all full-slot/half-slot...
    1F. the HMM is your friend.
    2. as far as I know, there is no other IPS from Panel thing than the X 220 Tablet / X 220.
    6. I check RedFlagDeals often because they have a specific page of the Canada. (Is there a strange script that maintains an infinite looping Firefox don't like a lot).

    • How to create a fast forward and return quick button?

      I would like to create a simple fast forward and return quick button. I get sporadic results with the rewind button. I love the playhead for 3 seconds (72 images) both when the user press the fast forward or rewind button. They should be able to hit two buttons repeatedly. If the playback head is less than 3 seconds, then it will go to the first image.

      Here is the code:

      var FrameNumRewind:Number = this.currentFrame;

      FrameNumRewind = 0

      stage.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, page_watch);

      function page_watch(event:MouseEvent):void

      {

      If (event.target is bnt_Fast)

      {

      var FrameNumFast:Number = this.currentFrame;

      this.gotoAndPlay FrameNumFast += (72);

      }

      If (event.target is bnt_Rewind)

      {

      Will head frame to the first frame if less 73 executives.

      If (FrameNumRewind < = 73)

      {

      SoundMixer.stopAll ();

      this.gotoAndPlay("1") ;}

      }

      on the other

      {

      this.gotoAndPlay (FrameNumRewind-= 72);

      }

      }

      What I am doing wrong? Is there a better way to do it?

      I would appreaciate any help or references.

      One thing, that you must take care, is that you should not nest functions named within other functions.  Remove this function ff72 by itself.

      The currentFrame property is a read-only property, but you try to change its value using code in this line...

      this.gotoAndPlay this.currentFrame += (72);

      So change that line to be

      gotoAndPlay (currentFrame + 72);

      noticing that I took out "this" references as well.  They are most often useless in AS3 scenarios.

    • Fast forward and rewind

      When I play a file and want to move forward towards a particular point in time registration or back controls "Fast forward" and "Rewind" doesn't seem to work. The FF takes just the player at the end of the file and the RW just bring it at the beginning. There are no points between the two.

      Thank you

      Paul

      If you give the FF or REW button one press, this is what will happen. To ' scroll ' a song, press and hold the FF or REW until you get to the point where you want to resume.

      Of course, that "point" would be easier to find if the audio played during the 'research' as it did on the first series of e200v1.

    • HP 8500 has more scan not scan - I hear a fast spin and the book will not draw in the charger

      HP 8500 has more scan not scan - I hear a fast spin and the book will not draw in the charger. I tried a reboot, including disconnect the motor from the power analysis. A software update was just pushed through today as well, but the problem with the scanner was before this update. This update took place after the power has been turned off, then on again.

      The problem occurred this morning during a prior scan + back. I heard a click or pop/fast spin, something that indicates something was wrong, when he tried to feed on the 1st backsheet through for the scan of the back. Now, it won't take what anyone, even to make a copy using the feeder.

      When I look at the roll holder bar above paper, I noticed that it does not drop down to make contact with the paper he move to the scanner itself. I remember having this problem once before - there are 2 years, while the warranty was still in effect and does not remember how it was resolved.

      Any suggestions would be welcome. I don't want to buy another printer just to get the scanner to feed again. The printer itself is fine and scan from the bed is not affected.

      For anyone interested, I sloved the problem of roller scanner do not push the paper into the ADF.

      I turned off the printer last night. Today, I removed the power cable at the back of the printer and then unplugged the power cord from the wall. It was off for about 30 minutes. I reconnect the cable to the printer and the wall, the printer running and waited about 10 minutes. So tired the charger scanner again. It worked and I don't know why.

      Yesterday, I tried a version of what I found in the documentation for HP support. He said to do, but not to turn the printer off first. He has not worked for me.

      I don't know if my path has really had no effect on the results, but it works now and I don't have to think about buying a new printer for awhile yet. I like this idea!

      Is this normal given the CPU goes from 80 to 100%, but the GPU is just over 40%?

      My equipment is:

      8.1 to Windows and the latest demo of first Pro CC

      2600K @4, 5 ghz

      12 GB of ram (could be the cause)

      GTX980ti (Stable OC)

      Vertex SSD for the OS

      SAMSUNG SSD for the project and sequences (Blackmagic speed test shows constant ~490 mb writing ~ 520 MB read)

      Thank you all

      Clock speeds are not a reliable indicator of processor speeds - they hit a ceiling a few years back really, so they found other ways to make processors faster and more efficient without increasing the clock speed.

      Your 2600K is a Core i7 2nd generation with 4 cores and 8 wires, while the most recent 5th-Gen 5820 K 6 cores/12 threads, but "only" a 3.6 Ghz compared to your 4.5 Ghz clock speed, but what one do you think is faster?

      You will probably need a new motherboard for the processor more recent, but even if required do not, would be prudent or the old motherboard would be a performance bottleneck. Most recent MB would be faster RAM. And get at least 16 GB of RAM, if not more.

      You want a system that is "balanced", which means that all the components complement each other. You don't get full of the GTX 980, since performance the old processor and motherboard are dragging it down like a boat anchor. Like putting a Corvette engine in a Chevrolet Vega old... you won't have any suspension, steering, braking, traction to handle all that power and will not be able to open up the throttle! With the new CPU, MB and ram, you would have a more balanced system. A Hot Rod. You can even add another drive, or both, for example, the media Cache.

      Check under file > Project Settings > General to see if the GPU rendering is enabled, or if the value to the software - cannot even make use of the 980 for acceleration card.

      Thank you

      issues of compatibility windows 7 and acrobat 6.0

      You have a question? AA6 is not fully compatible with Win7, probably not at all to a 64-bit system. The recommendation is to buy AAXI. If you manage to install AA6 on Win7, you can optionally change the port of the Adobe PDF printer to FILE and then print to file. It is a PS file and will then be run through Distiller to obtain a PDF file. This may or may not work for you. I've experimented with AA5 and managed in this way for a Win7 32-bit system. Not a great solution, but it may meet your need.
