Hi, people!
I am also a fan of Thinkpad as I'm the owner of a R40. I'm assisting my fren to get a laptop and i'm recommending her a thinkpad. Yet, I don't know which model should be better.

Budget: RM4000

Any recommendation under the budget which is worth buyinng? Thank you!

i think for budget around rm4000,u can only get Lenovo N100(0689GTA),Thinkpad R60(9457AY1)

myliew, is ur screen flicking or blank when on battery?

recently my screen also blink suddenly when i'm using battery, i need to close the lid and open back then the problem solved, i set the action for closing lid is do nothing

i suspect the latest driver cause me this

i'm interested to get another ibm with those windows xp preinstall instead of vista, any idea or suggestion of place i can get it from ? tried called a few dealer but does not seems to have it though..

YES~~~ thats whats happen to me too, only happen when using battery. i found 1 temporally fast solution. that is i push "Fn" + "F7" to change my display to external monitor, then repeat the same thing to change back to my laptop LCD.

but i dont think this is for long them solution. something must be done.

user of t43 here.
awesome lappie. feels solid. i love how the t series is set apart from the R's..the top housing feels so solid.

myliew, i suspect the problem as i disable the intel start up applications - igfxtray, hkcmd, igfxpers

now i enable them back, only able to tell the result after few days usage

did u disable them as well through msconfig or other 3rd party software?

igfxtray, hkcmd, igfxpers??? hehe so malu to tell you , im not a pro in IT.
and i dont know how to use the "msconfig" funtion.
so i think i dint do any configaration from there before.
This is my configaration "pic".

Guys, pls check here...

hi myliew, i found the solution at last

after reverting back to the earlier graphic driver, the problem solved i downloaded the driver from intel website, let me know if it works in ur case as well

any link????

Haha after all this trouble at last u guys figure out is graphic driver problem eh? WTG guys!

Hi, mine is T43, now I have a very big puzzel with my language of Access IBM. Last 2 months, I have installed update driver including access connection, Power manager etc. Now the language of my window xp is using english but I have language bar (which has chinese language and also english). Everything is in english but only the ThinkVantage Access Connection is using Chinese language. it's version 4.23
Anyone can tell me what's going on with my access connection?? Is it someone hacked into my laptop?? Any solution change back to english version?? ::....
Thanks...
