Lenovo Enhanced Experience

I was reading the Lenovo website and encountered this article

It says:

I just bought my first Thinkpad, an X200t, and I am going to upgrade it to Windows 7. I am wondering if I can reach the same boot/shutdown/resume time of new systems.

The Lenovo guy says that there are many small improvements in the BIOS and drivers, as well as the way drivers and services load. Well, BIOS and drivers can be easily updated from the website. But what about other small tweaks and optimizations?

Do you guys have any prior experience with Lenovo about those kind of stuff? Will Lenovo provide a tool or a guideline for current owners to optimize their systems? If not, will the community try to create such guidelines?

 

That has actually been one area that has been talked about quite a bit in our office. I think it comes down to the little * after the performance results.

Sample comparison:
Before Enhanced Experience — Think T400s system integrated with Window-7 Professional beta, hardware device drivers, utilities, Lenovo and 3rd-party software as of January 2009 with no optimization performed by Lenovo.
After Enhanced Experience — Think T400s system integrated with Window-7 Professional RTM, hardware device driver, utilities, Lenovo and 3rd-party software as of September 2009 after optimization by Lenovo engineers to integrated software components.

Key thing to note... it is comparing the pre-release of Windows 7 to the full-release of Windows 7. They are not equal systems from the start.
