    Dear Lenovo Expertise,

    I would like to know whether we can use ThinkVantage suite/utilities on IdeaPads?

    If yes, good.
    If no, why not? What are the alternatives?


    I mean these are very important utilities especially "System Update".

    Complete peace of mind.

    My regards

    Dr. Khan

    Could download and try them. Some may work, though I suspect some are ThinkPad specific like Client Security or UltraNav. I expect your system already has some sort of update utility, most notebooks do. Just my opinion here, I have no inside information, but ThinkPads cost more, which is why they get better software.
