But 15.4 wide screen really bulky to bring around (Imagine goin round trip from JB to Singapore everyday with public transport)... but the spec you have there really nice...

Aiyoo! 4Gb ram on a lappy? With this crappy vga card and this tiny 14.1" screen, may i know what you guys doin with it? Encoding HD-DVD? Hardcore Photoshoping? Rendering or modeling 3D graphics? Programing 3D games? Play hardcore game on your lappy? Got too much spare $$?

If non of above is what you do with your lappy..

1-2Gb is enuf for run Vista smoothly and alot application already.. 4Gb.. far too much for a lappy to fully utilize ba..

I think bro Austin must be a pro graphic designer(with very good eyesight too, 14.1" screen wahlauu!)

If i got those spare cold hard cash i'll opt for more Levi's jeans hehe!

Dont flame me ah! im noob i know nothing bout piccie de

Cheers!

Ah if just 256mb too little bah must dig out some $ to get more ram liao

p/s: My old machine also 256mb ram i understand how much patient u need when using your lappy

Cheers!

If want to connect like that then just use desktop ba.. cheaper ram and faster proc/vga card.. (Good spec + cheap priced)

Neway your rig look really messy..

Bout the ramdisk.. yeah instead is a good software to fully utilize the ram.. But what the main purpose for HDD? External HDD? dont this 2 far more cheaper then lappy ram? (Correct me if i make mistake here)

p/s: Dont worry rich ppl got the power to be cocky de hehe! I just come as a noob to learn more stuff from you guys (SIFU)!

Cheers to all 'Think' ppl here

I got 1 original IBM 512mb ddr2 667mhz no use le.. but seller ask me to keep it.. ur lappy support ddr2?

Oh i see, i also dont understand your..

"speed up the programs loading time"
-how much quicker it will be? Spend few k on ram for few sec faster? But 7200RPM HDD no good de ah? very hot de ah? Ram hot or not de ah? (I dont know couse both of this stuff burried inside this solid Pad le)

"Instead if I stay at home, why not utilise the VGA Port and my 22" LCD leh?"
-I do see you got desktop le why not just use the desktop? (If i got desktop for God sake i wont use lappy.. i feel want to vomit after look at this tiny screen for hours and dont mention my lappy spec..)

Hope Mr.Austin could enlight me too

and

"As for messy? well I don't understand here.... Messy in terms of which part leh?"
-The way u dump all your rig.. er do we call that arrange your rig? kinda messy.. maybe you have some special designer feeling on how you arrange your stuff

Hehe we both also noob's ah? Its cool to meet ppl same level as me learning stuff here le

Cheers!

Mine is T60 model, I see the shop open some screw on the bottom then open up the palm rest area then plug in new ram below the touch pad.. kinda hard couse i never open up lappy i only know how to use

Im sure someone here sure know how to open can teach de alot nice ppl here

Thanks Mr.Austin

-Thanks for answer me.. so if i dig out few k on ram can get 12MS faster (ok make it 12sec) then 7200RPM HDD? Ah then this not for me le i rather wait.. slower is better *wink* *wink*

-My eyes got problem (I check it everyear,thanks for tellin me this).. if i didn wear spec.. i need to sit very near to the screen. (Try put your head near to screen for hours and do your stuff then ah see why i vomit)

-Bout the way u "arrange" (I call it "dump", couse i dont have desktop i "dump" all my lappy everywhere inside my room) your rig no offend here bro.. maybe your room kinda small or u got too many stuff on your room that why u need to "arrange" all your rig soo near and then sure it look like kinda messy hope u get me right..

Hehe thanks for bold all words for me. Btw i just ask for my answer didn mean expert or what(not being cocky also couse im not rich).. couse spend few k on ram really make me curious how much better it will be. If it is alot more better then i'm sure i'll load my lappy with max ram my lappy can take.

Cheers and thanks hope didn offend anyone here.

Btw i got a doubt in my mind for a long time.. If i wish to travel with my Thinkpad it is advisible to pack this Thinkpad all together in my luggage (Nicely packed with lots stuff in a small travel bag) or its is better to separate it?
Pack together easy to travel and if saparate it i neeed to carry 1 more bag.. (1 more bag mean 1 more stuff to worry )

Anyone travel with this lappy before? what do u guys do? Isit ok for lappy to go thru x-ray (i think this is ok) but how bout magnetic check at customs?

Sorry i got too much question to ask liao.. I really dont want to spoil my lappy when i travel..

Cheers.

Sorry for both of you, Mr.Austin and wtm0325 and thanks for your advise i really appreciate it

Will learn more from u guys in future

Cheers!

But separate it really very "ma fan" and what i do worry most is if i hold the lappy with me, is it ok to go thru the magnetic door at custom while if let it go in the storage area i dont think they will "put" our stuff nicely.. (Headache)

Haih.. btw i better ask less since my broken english make ppl misunderstand.

Cheers and have a nice day

If like that i should hold 1 extra bag, 1 more stuff to worry.. I really thought that ThinkPad can handle alot of abuse (like pack it all together inside 1 suit case, nicely packed with my stuff) and last but no least hope they wont sue me if i bring battery that "maybe" will explode in the plane hehe =D

Thanks Mr.THT

Cheers, have a nice great day ahead

Hehe How bout Durabook? Not very glamour in Malaysia but soldier use it to stop a bullet

Ok, will see what i can do with ThinkPad, hope when i return my LCD wont say byebye to me..

Cheers

But the premium you pay will last very long if didn want to catchup with the latest spec.. I believe this lappy will stay with me for 5 more years to come (hopefully). What i worry most is the lcd..

Btw nowdays alot shop let us pay by instalment.. If pay by instalment will be easier on wallet

p/s: Compaq V series is very cool machine (all black also) but i think the batt last not very long on usage am i right hackintosh?

Ya.. i think 2 years back ram aint cheap.. but now kinda cheap already.. 512mb ddr2 667mhz selling at rm190 or less!

Im very happy to see alot nice and friendly Thinkpad user here and mostly very happy and satisfy with this machine really no regrat to have it even i see a big hole on my wallet..

p/s: Btw anyone found out what T series bottom is made of (meterial)? Isit Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).. or just plain normal Plastic?

Cheers Thinkpad user!

I got 1 x 512mb ram(not using since i upgrade the ram when i get this machine) but i dont know bro can use it or not couse i really not very familiar with hardware stuff..

The ram i mention above is 512MB ddr3 667mhz PC5300.

Im learning this stuff now, dont want to be left behind.. Next time i'll open up this machine see what beneath inside that cost me more then 6k hehe!

Cheers!

I think the different about T series and R series is only the casing.. T is made from Magnesium Alloy (Look thinner) while R series is made from either Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) or High Gred Plastic. Both of it have the same security and very good build since both series is equip with roll cage.

If you travel alot T series is alot more better since the LCD is protected by magnesium alloy mixture.

Cheers!

I think it has only 2 slot.. couse when i upgrade my ram i see only 2 slot when the seller help me fix the new ram into the machine (below the touch pad)

Ah bro why sell it ah? ThinkPad no good? plan to swift to other brand? Bout the price i really dont know le.. Try hunt around sure can get good price for this solid machine de

Good Luck.. and hope bro will stick with ThinkPad le

Ah!

I got new problem again.. I get a wireless modem (D-Link DSL G604T) today..

After set everything(security stuff etc etc) and yay(dancing)! I manage to get to surf and do my stuff wireless!
(My very 1st time doin stuff wireless at home Can u guys feel how happy im that time?)

But my happiness dont last for long, i start to feel dumb when i load and download from my workplace server i notice using wireless are slower then using lan cable (how much slower i cant tell couse i dont know how to measure but im sure not 1 or 2min diff.. alot!) I using 512 basic streamyx and i stay in same room with the modem like 3-4 feets away.. (Closed door too!)

Isit using wireless meant to be slower then Lan cable? Or isit i wrongly judge it? I hope to know if i need to upload and download "LARGE" files over net it is better to use LAN cable then do it wireless?

Sad.. if it really slower since the seller tell me its same with Lan Cable (in Speed term).. Lay on bad doin stuff is 110% better then doin it on table..

Anyone here have same problem? Or i wrongly set anything? I just key in Isp numbers and set WPA password to prevent intruders hehe!

Cheers!
