Hey guys, I've just received this laptop today. Mine is with W7 Home Basic. Need some advice here. As I read the first post by TS, he mentioned about Lenovo driver disc. The thing is I don't have this driver disc. One more thing, any driver that I should download/upgrade? Thanks.

have you tried to ask the seller/shop?

well yeah, mine is GT650M, and looks like mine is an old stock.

hmm, is it so difficult to buy the caddy? can't we find them in lowyat plaza or digital mall?
*
I think you can find it... just I'm too lazy to go into KL... have to face traffic just for the caddy... RM67 not bad for caddy+usb adapter...if go to lowyat dunno whether got or not (I believe they have) + parking fees + time consuming just for a thing price rm67 smile.gif
