Hello there, I recently picked up a bargain purchase for a Lenovo laptop. I was evaluating the product and everything seemed somewhat okay (I was concerned about the battery and HDD) until I found this: What you're seeing is photos of the area where the battery is inserted. As can...

Hello, I recently started this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2230038/450-laptop-deal-feedback-opinions.html I decided to go ahead and buy the laptop, just to test it out. It is a Lenovo W530 with an i7 3720 processor. The laptop is running win7 Ultimate on what looks to be a...

This doesn't seem like a major issue (from your explanation, which also isn't very clear). Enter the password once, see if it logs in. If it doesn't, press the Caps Lock key ONCE, then try entering the password again. After doing this, you should be logged in. Hopefully you don't have a...

I agree with the other posters. It looks decent and the price is great. However, I'd be weary to buy something like this over Craigslist. If you don't know the seller, he/she could be a chancer. Also, if the seller isn't a shop, you'll be stuck on warranties, etc. Lastly, run some diagnostics...

Yikes, visiting those sites is super-slow on my older machine. A lot of JavaScript going on there (slides, etc.) 1500 euro seems like a decent budget. Problem with those alienwares is that they lack some things I'd personally look for, for rendering 3D stuff. They have the top range i7 4th...

We can't really specify if it is a good purchase, unless you include details like the price you paid, what warranty you have, etc. Based on the specs, I'd say you have a top-of-the-line machine, added to that is that it is a touch screen (which makes it more expensive). I would say the...

This is a tough one. The issue could be a variety of problems. What is the OS you are using? Also, have you looked at current solutions for "blue screen of death". Is the machine completely dead? Or is it at least charging?

Hello, So I recently got offered a: Lenovo Thinkpad w530 with an Ivy-Bridge 3720 chip (8GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD) for $450 The guy told me it was used for a couple of months and returned because the original user wanted something more sleek (it was a corporate user). I've looked at the laptop...

It would be hard to actually go do the searching and shopping on your behalf. Perhaps you should have provided a couple of choices to pick from in that price range. With a $600 budget in mind and a high-res laptop, you will probably be looking in the i5/i7 Intel range. Also, you will likely...
