I am trying to hook up a splitter for the incoming cable and internet service and trying to determine what device to connect to which of the outputs on the splitter. It happens to be a 3-way splitter even though I only need 2. I am going to have one output to the TV, and one to the cable...

1. What is your budget? <$700 2. What is the size of the notebook that you are considering? 14" or less 3. What screen resolution do you want? Not important. 4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop? Replacing current Lenovo Ideapad U310 5. How much battery life do you need...

Well, solved part of that riddle - it's not an SSD it came equipped with - it's a 500GB 5400RPM HDD. DOH! My first inclination is to pick up a new SSD to replace the hard drive with and see if that will satisfy for a while. Macbook certainly not in my budget anytime soon. If she wants one...

Bought our daughter a Lenovo Flex 15D about 2-3 years ago. AMD A4 processor, not sure if there is 4 or 8GB of RAM, but there is a 256GB SSD. Having a hard time finding any other specs. She's finishing her senior year of high school and looking at colleges, and like all 17 year olds, thinks she...

delellod - I've done that and performance varies. Right now I have 23 tabs open with 3.25GB of memory being used and CPU usage varying between 11-22%. I did watch it shoot up into the mid-50% range when opening even more tabs. What I don't know is what happens the split second before the...

Have this curious problem that seems to be happening more frequently than a year ago when I bought it. Unit is a Lenovo ideapad U310. I'll have the machine on and can be working, sometimes I'm away from it for 10 minutes and come back to it and it's doing this: Everything frozen with screen on...

Thanks for the heads up on the memory as well. I hadn't even started exploring what kind without some inkling that I could go beyond 4GB.

Thanks for tracking that down. Good enough for government work. I could care less about the warranty. It's been a great little workhorse but this thing has crashed somewhat frequently (a complete lock up & unresponsive) and it seems to happen when I have a lot of stuff open and working, so I...

Was wondering if anyone might know whether the motherboard in a U310 ultrabook might allow for memory expansion beyond the 4GB that it comes with? I can't seem to find anything regarding this from the Lenovo website or from their support division and thought I'd ask here before I try and take...

Sorry again. I've done 3 master resets - two by me, one by the crack staff at Verizon's local store.

sorry wesley if I wasn't explicit, but those two items have been verified as null in a double-blind study. I have tried all of that, to no avail.

I posted this several days ago, but for some unknown reason, am not able to access the thread I started, so apologies to the person who did finally respond. This also contains an update about my phone and it's battery: I'm in a quandry. I've had my Samsung Droid Charge for 2 years and while I...
