Anyone have any thoughts on the upcoming quad core Xeon based lenovos? http://www.notebookreview.com/feature/lenovo-thinkpad-p50-and-p70-first-look-preview/ Jason Roberts Journeyman Software Developer Twitter: @robertsjason Blog: http://DontCodeTired.com Pluralsight Courses: http://bit.ly/psjasonroberts =========================================================== I welcome VSRE emails.

But then I don’t really care what keyboard I use, and I don’t use touchpads (external mouse for me). That said, the touchpad is quite good. Of the main problems reported re the SB: a) BSODs – I’ve had one – related to the video card drivers b) Video card driver falling over – happens to me all the time – maybe once every 30 minutes. Screen freezes for a fraction of a second then comes back. Possibly a problem if you are in the middle of a game, but no biggie if just doing regular work. c) Losing cursor when undocking/redocking – haven’t had this happen me d) Popping audio – haven’t had this either Screen is bright, undock works well. Hoping that the various problems can be solved via software updates.
