ThinkPad T410 Upgrade option

I start by saying that I love my thinkpad! There's just one thing I don't like abtou it and it is the plug there atm. This is the laptop I'm using right now:

ThinkPad T410 2539 - Core i5 520 M/2.4 GHz - vPro - RAM 4 GB - 320 GB - DVD-brander - HD Graphics - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN: 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 - TPM - vingerafdruklezer - 14.1 inches; breedbeeld TFT 1280 x 800 (WXGA)

The thing is, it's perfect for simple office tasks, but really miss me a grapich power when I go to work and on the road. So I was wondering, what options are there to upgrade the CPU/video card?

OK, thanks for your response. I'm guessing there is nothing for me to do that so go get another laptop.

Well don't get me wrong the T410 is always a great computer and not this old, but seems useless to me and spend too much to upgrade a previous generation Thinkpad so all you will get is a graphics card that is a little better. Buy a new T420 will be still more expensive of course, but then you get a brand new model with all new features and HW.

  • How can they take advantage of the Windows 7 upgrade option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option begins officially today that gives a free copy of W7 with Windows Vista PCs and laptops, and I wanted to know how I can take advantage of this offer when buying on the Toshiba site?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

    Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

    I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

    As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

    If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

    Luke.

    Hello

    I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

    What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
    Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
    What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

  • ThinkPad T410 boots only if the power supply is plugged

    Hello

    I have a really strange bug. My thinkpad T410 (2537-UQF) with an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD boots only if the power supply is connected. If I have a full battery, and try to boot without the power I get a blue screen after about 60 seconds on the screen where the windows logo appears. I have Windows 7 installed fresh a few days ago.

    I think its possible, I've done a few failure with drivers. The power management ThinkPad always stops working after startup. So I deleted the program using the feature "msconfig".

    I'm not really sure what I can do about it. Any idea?

    Thanks for any answers in advance & regards

    Rain

    OK I solved the problem:

    The workaround is to set to battery power settings in the BIOS to auto. If the power in the Bios settings are on maximum battery life, the system does not start if you use the SSD OCZ Vertex 3.

    Hope this helps everyone who has the same problem. I need 4 days to understand this.

  • Mini 210 help with upgrade options

    I have a mini 210-1142CL

    Someone has updated the motherboard on this model and if so, is it really make a difference in performance.

    Upgrade options are also somewhat confusing.

    The mini works fine for me and before that pitch for a newer model, wanted to explore options of upgrade of it for at least a dual processor at the fastest speed it can handle.  Right now, it is running.  Have disk space enogh with 128 GB of free space, 1 GB of RAM.   Running a 1.66 GHZ N455 chip.

    Not sure if a 1.5 GHZ dual chip will really make a substantial difference, or if it's time for new technologies.

    Thank you

    Stan

    Atom processors were a dead-end. However, the N550 1.5 ghz dual was one of the best. A bit like the world above 'little person' but still a honor:

    http://cpuboss.com/CPUs/Intel-Atom-N550-vs-Intel-Atom-N455

    Just to put it into perspective, here is a graph of the N550 vs some real processors.

    http://www.cpubenchmark.NET/CPU.php?CPU=Intel+Atom+N550+%40+1.50GHz

    I saw the N550 motherboards for $45 on eBay. Performance is perhaps 30% better than the single core 1.66.

    Your best upgrade is to install the 2 GB of RAM.

    If you feel compelled by the whole thing of netbook, I'd get a new laptop. The technology comes from the netbook to be a reference in the calculation of the story. Good idea at the time. A good current smart phone probably has as much computing power.

  • T400 upgrade options

    Hello

    I have a T400 (7417CTO) and looking for possible upgrade options.

    I know that some of the options available to drive HARD and memory. But I / m don't know for sure on the following...

    11 b/g wireless LAN Mini-PCIE III 11/n?

    I can replace the modem with a different card as wireless USB etc. ?

    TIA

    You could spend a T9900, which is the highest specification Core 2 Duo CPU.

    The best available WLAN adapter is the 5300, which requires three antennas in the screen; you need to install the yourself third or potentially borrow one of 3G ones.

    The Turbo and Wireless USB memory modules are interchangeable and are sitting under the letter B area of the keyboard.

    You can get a webcam, BT, etc if you don't have them, but that involves disassembly of the cover.
