@HI276 Hey, you can usually check if the webcam is working by pressing the Fn+F6 keys. There is no physical switch or anything. You can make sure it's installed properly by going to Start Menu->Control Panel->Device Manager and look under 'Imaging Devices' to see if 'integrated camera' shows up.
@miminguyenx3 hey! there is both a physical switch just under the 'express card' at 2:36 as well as pressing the Fn+F5 key will bring up various options once you are in windows.
@lbaquerizo this thing stays pretty cool. i used it pretty intensely when first setting up and loading it for the user, and it was cool and quiet. Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary from the r61's, and t61's. I have a Macbook pro, and not to bash it as it's a nice machine, but it is unbearable to keep on my lap when i use it. The battery gets really hot which becomes quite an annoyance, and it's not even under a large work load.
hey, i will be getting this laptop for uni. Is there a good reason to use the default 1366x768 compared to the 1600x900 ? or did you get it because its cheaper?
@oliverthedrummer Hey, I just got the 1366x768 because of price, was around $1100 or so for this laptop. The user it was for hooks it up on a dock to an external monitor, so it wasn't an issue to them. Def go for the 1600x900 if you can, so worth it to see more on the screen!
@Skrash3r im considering it, but on the uk site (lenovo) it costs so much :S here are the speccs im considering getting: i5 home premium 1600 x 900) LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display 2gb ddr3 (which im going to buy 4 gb for £24) intel 3000 320 7200rpm drive Bluetooth Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100 6 cell that including the 10% discount is £822 (which is roughly $1,326.21) There's one on newegg with optimus, same speccs but with 4 gb which is $1,249.99 shame they dont ship to uk it sucks
why did you peel off the sim label? it's meant to aid you in removing the sim card. Should have just left it dangling, it will go back in together with your sim when you slot in the sim.
we all get these at my school (Chaminade STL) but im having trouble turning on the webcam
