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.

QUOTE(exkaizen @ Aug 10 2012, 10:56 AM) have you tried to ask the seller/shop? ? The dealer said no need for Driver disc. All drivers already inside local storage. I've already check, inside D drive. So, any driver that I must/should upgrade?  Thanks. |

QUOTE(sss2sssss @ Aug 10 2012, 11:20 AM) I think u are bought the dealer version...=.= I was going to buy the freeDOS version but the dealer said freeDOS is out of stock. Have to wait few days for that version. So, I bought with the W7 instead. Since the dealer was my classmate, he was going to offer me free 4Gb Ram. Unfortunately, that is out of stock as well. Why don't u bought separately? (Like me, I'm bought Y480(FreeDOS)+Windows 7 Home Premium OEM Builder Pack)...lol  Now still exploring the laptop. Dunno what program to upgrade. Scared that later might ruin the program.  |

QUOTE(sss2sssss @ Aug 10 2012, 12:03 PM) "DDR stands for Double Data Rate. SO any DDR3 (and DDR2) rating is double the actual speed. So ram running 800MHz is running DDR3 1600. Notice the ram specs only say DDR3 1600 without MHz at the end." Lol. That makes sense. Thanks for the info. Currently downloading Nvidia driver (Beta) 304.79. Copy from someone....lol  |

QUOTE(kuroneko0509 @ Aug 15 2012, 05:23 PM) numlock key enabled on the go is normal, and usually can be adjusted on bios setting if you wanted to... and what do you mean by 'automatically open computer's window'?? Lol. How to call the window when you double-click the "My Computer" icon? That window automatic open when I start my laptop. |

Hey guys, this is super noob question. How to use the laptop cooler? Should the wind direction of the cooler go blow your laptop or the other way around? This part is confusing. I played Prototype 2 this few weeks and the laptop is super hot. Sometime lag when it overheat. Thanks.

Hey guys. Is this normal?
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Im currently experiencing super slow wifi. My connection is stable but Ive compared with my housemate laptop which is Acer. It seems that he can buffer a lot faster than me when it comes to youtube. His room is upstairs and mine is closer to the wifi router. How is this possible? Thanks. |
