I got the 90W adapter, so assuming you got the 65W with everything else constant, that could explain the weight difference. Either way I wouldn't worry about it; I just read the label, and I don't actually know how representative of actual shipping weight that nominal figure is. Typically after it ships, you'll have it within a week (at least for US).

Commander Wolf can i haz broadwell?

I have the 90w too... Mandatory for the nvidia card configurations I read..
Ups is waiting to receive it. Maybe 1 and a half week to Singapore I guess.
I guess I'm just jumpy. First time buying electronics online. And it isn't a small sum for a student. If Singapore had reasonable pricing I wouldn't take the risk. But it is 1.9k over here for the base model with three years warranty. Blasphemy.
Yes everything will be well I hope!

Tut tut tut. Closer and closer haha. -
So lesterq, seeing you ordered from the USA but live in Singapore, I imagine that Lenovo USA wouldn't let you ship directly to Singapore. Does that mean you used a forwarding company who gives you a local USA address to send your product to then forwards the product to your real address in Singapore?
-
Correct!
There are various one vpost comgateway borderlinx. I am using cgw better reviews. Vpost is worst.
If you are intending to do that cgw sends to many countries around the world.can go check it out

My laptop is going places i have never gone to. .
It is in Anchorage , alaska now. -
... and then Louisville, Kentucky.
Next week, it will cross the other ocean (or maybe the same ocean), heading to your place.
-
Same ocean I guess. It went all the way around the world to come back to me. Lol how I wish Lenovo us ships to me.

Do you guys have anything bad to say about the crucial msata ssd? I will be making the purchase soon. Haha
-
Buy ir already. Very happy with Crucial M4 mSATA SSD.
-
Waiting for the black Friday sale. Since the laptop isn't here yet anyway Haha.

If you want a fairly cheap 9.5 mm and 2.5 inch SSD that can be used as a mSATA drive, look for the Lite-On 2.5 inch 9.5 mm (SSD LZT-128M3S). In Australia it costs around 79 dollars, which means it should be cheaper in the states.

Crucial seems to have international warranty ,thats what i want. Haha

Anybody with this? Because i'm quite sure i dont need 500gb. And using a ssd
will shed off SOME weight and maybe longer on time? -
i have the 128 gigs Samsung 830.

Don't really know how to understand benchmarks but seems better then the msata sata2 but most probably I will not feel the difference.

I want my laptop quick. But does ups overwork their drivers? 4.43am and status just got updated as out for delivery..
Sent from my One V using Tapatalk 2 -
You should be having the package today. (That's pretty quick, given that you had to use a forwarder service.)
-
It hasn't even reached the forwarder! :O

Ok, you really have to stop bumping your thread before the 24 hours are up. Please use the edit button until then.
That being said, all three of pretty decent, though I'd still stay away from the OCZ at all cost. -
Sorry again . . -.-
Amazon has raving reviews of it though -
i would go with the intel 330, my vertex 4 failed after 5 months.
My intel 330 and Sandisk Extreme are still working after 7 months. OCZ had some problem with Vertex 4.
Are OCZ Vertex 4 SSDs still bad? - [H]ard|Forum -
Do I have to charge for 8 hours? Or more...

you don't need to break in the battery, the factory shipped battery have all been calibrated at the factory for use.

Thanks!
Delivery guy is making me wait... 7-10 9.30 now and he is still not here. ;(
Turns out Dhl screwed up. Told me at 10 when I called them that the laptop is stuck in the container at the warehouse..

LAPTOP IS WITH ME UP AND RUNNING.
Sexy black thing. . .
Making a windows 7 usb installationg stick. But the drivers at Drivers and software - ThinkPad T430
are a mess. . I do not know what i need and what i do not need at all. . Will be reinstalling windows now as a test. So when my ssd comes i will be a
pro haha. .
Any advice as to which drivers are the most important/must gets? -
Before you wipe out the stock HDD, make a copy of the C:\SWTOOLS folder onto a flash drive. It contains all the drivers and Lenovo apps. After you reinstall Windows, go down the list of unresolved drivers and point each one to that folder and tell Windows to search subfolders for the right driver.
Much more convenient than trying to make sense from the Lenovo webpage.
Some drivers/apps you have to install manually, such as Power Manager (which requires Power Management Driver), Hotkeys and Onscreen Display. Take a look at the Control Panel > Programs list to have an idea.
Oh, after you have the Realtek audio driver installed, make sure you manually install the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 stuff (under C:\SWTOOLS\PCEE, or something like that).
Good luck. -
But would the windows 8 driver work for the windows 7..
Also there isn't a windows key on the back of the laptop. Just a windows 8 sticker!
Painfully slow HDD...
Two finger scroll not working even before i even tried to reinstall windows ...

May i know where to find this key? Thanks! haha
Love the key board. Effortless typing with just right tactile feedback.
Found out that two finger scrolling is different from the old mac os x.
swipe up to scroll down. haha
EDIT: was trying out thr shortcuts with the windows key and scrolling with
touchpad is suddenly not working again. Also my fan doesn't seem to be running even when watching youtube. .
T430? B&N? Help is really appreciated
