Anyone Have A Lenovo Thinkpad?

[pHILSANITY07]

Im about to buy one when I get paid and I want to upgrade the memory, does anyone have one on here and if so how hard is it to do?

i have a t410, one dimm is under keyboard and the other is accessible on the bottom of the chassis.
takes like 5 minutes.

Super simple.... I have 2 DIMM's on the bottom.

BTW which Thinkpad... they make a few versions

We use the T400 and T410s here at work and they are the biggest pieces of shit I have ever used. 4-5 times a week I get a blue screen of death "encountered error beginning physical memory dump......blah blah blah". We have probably 10,000 of these in theater and I have yet to meet someone who enjoyed their Lenovo Experience. lol

A month ago it completely wiped out My Documents. Over 4,000 word documents, .pdf, pictures, etc. GONE. No warning, no reason. Luckily I backed up a few weeks prior and was able to restore 90%, I pulled the rest from my sent/inbox emails.

If this piece of shit was not owned by the government I would give it to you.

HUH, MyR61 is going on 4 years old...
other than ocasional HDD swaps for more capicity or the final SSD, i have never had one issue with my Lenovo. Hell i recommend them to other coworkers and no one i know has had any issues...

Mine was loaded with XP and now has Win7, i skipped over the Vista Era. infact i just bought 2 new laptops and the only reason i didn't go with Lenovo is because they didn't have what i wanted..

i would suspect that the units you have in the desert have been abused quite thoroghly....Also all that dust plays hell on keeping the computer cool, overheating will defintely cause BSOD's

The model Im going to get is a x120e Think Pad. I was figuring it would be easy to do.

A week ago I posted about what is the best notbook to get. Well this Lenozo thinkpad x120e is a 2GB RAM upgradable to 4 or 8GB's. 320GB Hard Drive. 11.5 Inch screen. I can get it for 360 at lenovo.com with my 10% off discount for a purchase after creating an account.
