lenovo ...what are you doing
--Apos (talk) 11:53, 7 March 2015 (CET)
THINKPAD ... lenovo, what are you doing with 20 years of usability design! Do not buy one of the xx40-Series thinkpads with new trackpoint / touchpad design of the 2014 / X1 Carbon model! In the 2015 Model it ist back.
Here is why:
- Lenovo's new keyboard & trackpoint are awful and you're never getting your old one back!
- Classic Thinkpad vs. modern Lenovo Thinkpad redesign - thoughts.
What I like
- used and was fairly pricy, whcih gave me the ability to to some fancy stuff (SSD, Ram)
- has the "old" keyboard style
- only nvidia, don't need intel (hybrid graphics)
- no fingerprint
- umts
- webcam
- usb 3.0 (NEC)
- 4 x 1.6 GHz (up to 2.8 GHz) - 8 Threads. That's more you'll ever need for real work. I mainly do virtualisation, programming, photo and office tasks.
- 16 GB ram (four banks, up to 32GB)
- 500 GB SSD Samsung Evo PRO - see, problems!
That's it folks. Work, don't play around!
System with Ubuntu Linux Desktop and Docking.
Hardware
Model: 4391-E46 (CTO)
- no bluethooth at this model - just added a tiny cheep bluethooth 4.0 dongle which works fine.
- no wireless lan, but adding a gobi 2000 worked fine - everything was prepared.

Troubleshooting
Samsung SSD
[SOLVED]: The lenovo support changed the mainboard. A Crucial M500 480Gb is running fine.
If you encounter the problems mentioned in this paragraph, it is likelely that your mainboard is out of order.
--Apos (talk) 11:52, 11 March 2014 (CET)
[ NOT SOLVED]: Returned the EVO 840 and got a Samsung EVO 840 PRO.
I returned the PRO, bought a Crucial M500 480 - but the system still freezes.
--Apos (talk) 09:45, 14 January 2014 (CET)
I had real trouble with the EVO and PRO models and had to return the drive:
So I did added some boot params and as time of writing a did freezes do occur, but not that many any more.
(--Apos (talk) 20:40, 5 January 2014 (CET))
sudo vim /etc/default/grub
[...] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=1:3.0G,2:1,5G libata.force=noncq" [...]
Power supply not enough - use standard 135 W
Due to the components that rely on a lot of power in this laptop, an original 135 W power supply is needed! Do not use a power supply from another manufacture (no name). You will not succeed!
If you don't do this, the laptop components do not run at full speed!
Solution: None! Use the 135W power supply or run at battery power.
Ultrabay
Eject the ultrabay
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_hotswap_Ultrabay_devices#Script_for_Ultrabay_eject
Create this script and run it as root!
Don't forget to alter the DEVICEPATH path at the beginning of the scrip according to your machine!.
udevadm info --query=path --name=/dev/sr0 | perl -pe 's!/block/...$!!'
Make the button for the DVD drive less sensitive
The problem is caused by udev
sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/.
Uncomment the containing ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}
sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/60-cdrom_id.rules
# media eject button pressed #ENV{DISK_EJECT_REQUEST}=="?*", RUN+="cdrom_id --eject-media $devnode", GOTO="cdrom_end"
Restart udev
sudo service udev force-reload sudo service udev restart
You should emediately see, that the button.
Lock the device button
Lock:
eject -i on /dev/sr0
Unlock:
eject -i off /dev/sr0
Toggle script:
#!/bin/bash DEVICE="/dev/sr0" if eject "${DEVICE}" then eject -i on "${DEVICE}" else eject -i off "${DEVICE}" fi
Put this into startup:
#!/bin/bash DEVICE="/dev/sr0" eject -i on "${DEVICE}"
