It's me again, join in the fun with newly bought Thinkpad X31.

Hi,

I just want to ask everyone here, did you purchase the 3 years extended warranty when you bought your ThinkPad? Is this option worth the RM800 price which worked to RM400 per year (2 extended years + 1 )? Or is it more worth it to send it to non-IBM-authorised repairman if its broken after the warranty? I'm in a dilemma! Please advice.

WT

no idea, cos I always buy the thinkpad with 3yrs warranty one.
But then for some R series it is better for you to buy the extended warranty plan as notebook LCD and motherboard parts are very expensive if buy from retail shop.

aren't x31 is old model?

yup i think so!!!!

May be an old model but the IBM X-Series is a high end model.

old nvmloh ..
X31 also centrino mah...

old...but look cool....

kelvin_hata ,haha ,all IBM look also same same de..,guess u r saying all look cool including mine

Yes... IBM never seems to change the squarish Thinkpad design. Always the same look. But if you take one look you know it is an IBM.

is Lenovo ThinkPad not IBM ThinkPad

haha ,anyway ,IBM thinkpad ,Lenovo thinkpad..
sticker is still IBM thinkpad hehe ,but we all know lah

from IBM until now Lenovo ,Thinkpad design never change (except Z got a new titanium colour loh )

Neh Lou Moh Thinkpad is still a Thinkpad lol >_<

walau eh .... Austin... u got dammmmm lot of pcs ar .... selling pc ar ? hehe or cybercafe at home ?

Hello guys,
IBM owns share in lenovo (some 13% i think). Thinkpad is IBM designed & trademark, so of course the design wont change. Its tough and durable- well known-

PS: i dont work for Lenovo ok, so im not trying to sell their products!!!

I plan to buy ThinkPad R51E. ATI Chipset. Any comment of it?

yoh.. ATI chipset ..
look at the price then we knw ATI chipset is much more cheaper then Intel855GM chipset ..
hmm.. anyway , if got budget go for centrino ...

Which is the Best Spec (Gaming Performance) for ThinkPad available now? Which is the best money can buy?

I have a question;

I own an IBM R51. I just downloaded their latest drivers and updates because my laptop has been running too slow and lagging.

I did see some changes after all the downloads but there is one BIOS upgrade which I am relatively confused.

I restarted my PC, and they prompt me a table DOS style with a Main Menu printed on the top. I did what was instructed but there was no telling whether the BIOS is being updated or anything. So I exit the Main Menu without updating my BIOS

I am curious is is necessary because it wrote Mandatory but nothing happened when I tried to update it.

Did anyone know what am I talking about and succeeded in doing it which could tell me what to do?

Another question is; do you realised the ventilation fan is very loud?! Or is it because of my laptop only?
