Re: T440S fan spinning ALL THE TIME!

I have had my T440s for 5 months now. However, I have been using it only for 3 months because the first 2 months were spent trying to solve other problems. Since yesterday however, I have been consciously aware that the fan is spinning almost all the time.I am posting this to ask if the fan spinning could be due to 1) any program I am running, or 2) an application I downloaded and tried installing yesterday (to be explained in more detail below)....

Re: T440s losing wifi connection

Yes, I certainly agree that the wifi is much, much, much  better now, with the new driver 17.0.2. Yesterday I had a flawless day, with no connection drops whatsoever, perfect.  Today is going well, too. However, I have had two wifi drops today, when I have been multi-tasking with google and a word document, going back and forth.  After I have been on Word for about a half-hour straight, and then switched back to google, or  when I have simply let the machine sit idle for about 20 minutes, I found the connection was dropped....

Re: Watch 3D Blu-ray torrent with Lenovo T430

I have a 3D projector and 3D-compatible receiver in my home theater room. I recently purchased a Lenovo T430, and was wondering if it is possible to watch downloaded 3D movie torrents with this laptop.I understand that I need a mini displayport --> HDMI cable to connect the laptop to the receiver. I also understand that these torrent files play through something such as the MKV player in side-by-side format.I do NOT know that if I purchase this adapter, will the 3D files be able to play in 3D through my theater setup? It seems like a "why wouldn't...

Re: T440s - LG or AUO Display

Got my T440s (FHD non-touch) yesterday, it has that freaking LG screen. It's actually worse than a very bad TN panel on my 5 year old asus. It thought there were no worse screens out there. How can they even claim that's an IPS?! It always has this dark horizontal line spanning about 1/3 of the screen (i'd say 20-30% darker than the upper and lower edges), there is exactly 1 position where you can kind of be ok with the picture.Another issue with this panel, which others have not mentioned here is actually color reproductoin. During win8 initial...
