My Lenovo X300 ThinkPad Notebook experience我國聯想X300 ThinkPad筆記本電腦的經驗

Recently our organization purchased for a senior management one of the latest and priciest notebook in town, a Lenovo X300 ThinkPad priced at about USD 2,900 (July 2008).最近，我們組織購買了高級管理人員最近的一次和昂貴的筆記本電腦在城裡， 聯想的ThinkPad X300售價約為2900美元（ 2008年7月） 。

The notebook at that time was not available in stock on many outlets since we called numerous notebook shops to enquire about its availability.筆記本當時不具備股票的許多店鋪，因為我們所謂的許多筆記本電腦的商店詢問其可用性。 In the end, we contacted Lenovo directly and was forwarded to a distributor who told us that we had to wait for at least 2 weeks in order to get hold of the notebook.最後，我們與聯想集團直接和轉交給分銷商誰告訴我們，我們不得不等待至少2週，以便掌握的筆記本電腦。 Since the decision was already made to purchase this unit, we ordered the notebook and it did indeed reached us in 2 weeks time.既然已經決定購買了這個單位，我們訂購的筆記本電腦，它確實達到我們在2週時間。

The initial comments we’ve got from people who looked and felt at it for the first time:最初的評論我們必須從人民誰期待，並認為它第一次：

• It doesn’t look good.它並不看好。
• Wow, it’s damn light.哇，這該死的光。
• The notebook bag seems heavier that the notebook itself.筆記本包似乎更重的筆記本電腦本身。
• It doesn’t really looks like it’s worth about USD 2,900.它並不真的看起來像它價值約2900美元。 Oh well..噢以及.. maybe it’s whats inside that matters most.也許是什麼內部才是最重要的。
• Wow, this notebook is worth more than my 7 year old car!哇，這筆記本電腦的價值超過我7歲一輛車！

Once the notebook arrived, I never thought I needed to do anything to it and just passed the notebook the the senior management staff.一旦抵達筆記本電腦，我從來沒有想過我需要做什麼，並剛剛通過筆記本電腦的高級管理人員。

A few weeks later, I was requested by the senior management staff to assist in transfering Microsoft Outlook emails and data from the old notebook to the new X300 ThinkPad with Windows Vista Business installed.幾週後，我所要求的高級管理人員，以協助轉移Microsoft Outlook中的電子郵件和數據從舊筆記本電腦的新的ThinkPad X300與Windows Vista企業安裝。 During this time, I had to activate the wireless connection on the X300 in order to connect to the Internet.在這段時間裡，我不得不啟用無線連接的X300 ，以連接到Internet 。 Upon successfully setting up the wireless connection, I managed to connect to the Internet for a few minutes before the whole machine just freezed.經成功地建立了無線連接，我連接到互聯網了幾分鐘前整個機器僅凍結。 Moving the mouse didn’t work.移動鼠標沒有奏效。 Pressing Ctrl + Alt+ Del didn’t work as well.再按下Ctrl + Alt + Del鍵沒有工作。 In the end, it just hang and freezed and all I could do was hard reboot by holding on to the Power On button for a long time.最後，它只是掛，並凍結所有我所能做的就是努力重新舉行以電源按鈕，很長一段時間。

Restarting the machine, it prompted for Safe Mode or to start Windows normally.重新啟動機器，它提示的安全模式或啟動Windows正常。 I went into Safe Mode and the machine loads up fine.我進入安全模式的機器加載了罰款。 Then I restarted to machine, this time it starts Windows normally but once the bottom right icons are about to load up, the machine freezed again.然後我重新啟動機器，這一次啟動Windows正常但一旦右下角的圖標要加載的機器再次凍結。 I was like thinking, oh no… I must have messed up the machine.我很喜歡思考，哦，不...我必須有搞砸的機器。 I rebooted the machine at leat 5-6 times and finally decided I had to perform a system recovery through the provided recovery and rescue cd.本人重新啟動機器在真皮休閒包5-6倍，並最終決定我不得不執行系統恢復通過所提供的恢復和救援光盤。

So I went through the recovery process, which took about an hour.所以，我經歷了復甦進程，歷時約一個小時。 Just when the system was initializing Microsoft Vista, the machine freezed again!就在該系統的初始化微軟Vista ，這台機器凍結了！ I was getting worried.我是越來越擔心。 But one thing that I noticed just before the machine hang.但有一件事，我注意到前機器掛起。 the wireless indicator was blinking.無線指標是閃爍。 So I thought it could be due to the wireless connection which is causing the machine to freeze.所以，我認為這可能是由於無線連接，這是造成機凍結。 I quickly turned offthe Wireless Radio button at the back of the machine and did the recovery process all over again.我很快打開offthe無線電按鈕，後面的機器，並恢復過程中所有了。

This time the recovery process was successful and the machine starts normally.這一次的復甦過程是成功的和機器正常啟動。 So I thought I could get back to the original task which was to assist in transfering Microsoft Outlook data.所以我想我能回到原來的任務是協助轉移Microsoft Outlook中的數據。 Upon setting up the wireless and got connected to the Internet again the machine freezed after a while.一旦建立了無線和連接到互聯網的機器再次冷凍後一段時間。 Restarting the machine with wireless turned on also causes the machine to freeze on start up.重新啟動計算機，無線開啟也造成機器凍結啟動。 This is getting annoying.這是越來越討厭。 In the end, I decided to give Lenovo Technical Support team a call.最後，我決定給聯想的技術支持團隊通話。

Once I got through to the technical support staff, I told her about the problem.一旦通過我的技術支持人員，我告訴她，對這一問題的。 In the end, she suggested that I update all the drivers by going to最後，她建議我更新所有的司機去 http://www.lenovo.com/support then search for MIGR-69378 which will then display a list of drivers and software for the Lenovo X300 ThinkPad.然後搜索MIGR - 69378然後將清單顯示的驅動程序和軟件，聯想的ThinkPad X300 。 She told me to check though the list of drivers and compare it against what was installed on my machine.她告訴我雖然檢查名單的司機和比較對什麼是安裝在我的機器。 If you manage to see the list of drivers, which is at least 10+ of them, there are quite a lot to compare against.如果您管理看到司機的名單，這是至少10 + ，其中，有不少比較反對。 This would take up at least half a day to compare!這將需要至少半天的時間比較！ Anyway, i told the tech support that I would give it a try.無論如何，我告訴技術支持，我會試試看。 She also advised me to go into msconfig, and disable all software from the start up to find out if the problem is caused by a start up program.她還告訴我進入msconfig ，並停用所有軟件從一開始就找到了，如果這個問題引起的啟動程序。

The first driver that I tried to update was the Wireless device.第一驅動器，我想更新的無線設備。 Did this but still no luck.這樣做，但仍然沒有運氣。 It still freezes.它仍然凍結。 Finally I gave up with the drivers and just sent it to the Lenovo Service Center at Plaza IBM.最後，我放棄了與司機和公正的發送到聯想服務中心廣場舉行， IBM公司。 I sent it in at about 6pm and the next day at 11 am they called to inform me that the notebook is ready and that they have fixed the problem.我給它在約下午6時，第二天上午11時，他們所謂的告訴我說，筆記本電腦已準備好，他們有固定的問題。

I quickly headed back to the service center to collect the notebook.我很快返回服務中心收集的筆記本電腦。 Before leaving I tried the machine to ensure that it will start up.臨行前我試過機器，以確保它會啟動。 It did indeed start up normally but without any connection to the wireless hotspot.這的確是正常啟動，但沒有任何連接到無線熱點。 When I requested for permission to get connected to the IBM wireless hotspot, the service agent told me that they have no access, so I’ve got to try it back in the office.當我要求得到允許連接到IBM公司的無線熱點，服務代理告訴我，他們已經沒有機會，所以我要嘗試回到辦公室。

Returning back to the office, I turned on the machine only to find out the machine still freezes when the wireless switch is turned on.返回辦公室，我打開機器只能找出機器仍然凍結時，無線交換機是打開的。 Then I suspected that it might be a Microsoft Vista problem rather than X300 problem.然後，我懷疑這可能是一個微軟的Vista問題，而不是X300的問題。 So I did a Google search and ended up on this所以，我做了谷歌搜索和最終就這一 Microsoft forum site微軟論壇網站 which mentioned about a faulty Dlink Wireless Router.其中提到一個錯誤的Dlink無線路由器。 Suspecting that the freezing problem is caused by the wireless router, I took the X300 ThinkPad back home and connected it to my Aztech Wireless Router… Walla!懷疑凍結的問題是所造成的無線路由器，我在的ThinkPad X300回家，並連接到我的愛捷特無線路由器...沃拉！ the machine started just fine without freezing.機器開始只是罰款不凍結。 I could surf for a long time without the machine crashing or hanging.我可以衝浪了很長一段時間沒有機器崩潰或絞刑。 So I could now confirm and pinpoint that the problem was caused by the machine being incompatible with the Dlink wireless router in the office.所以，我現在可以確認並查明該問題的原因是機器不符合的Dlink無線路由器，在辦公室裡。

In the future, if given a choice between purchasing a Lenovo and Dell, I would definately go for a Dell as it does provide me with a peace of mind.今後，如果考慮選擇購買聯想和戴爾，我肯定會去戴爾，因為它沒有向我提供了安心。 I have been using my Dell Inspiron 6000 for nearly 3 years without any problems at all.我一直在使用我的戴爾Inspiron 6000的近3年沒有任何問題。 Also, I have seen and experience the service support from Dell.另外，我看到和體驗的服務支持戴爾公司。 If your machine is still under its warranty, they will send the technician to where you are in within 2 days and fix up your machine there and then.如果你的機器尚在保修，他們將派出技術員到您是在2天內和修復了您的機器出現，然後。 No questions asked!不問！
