Almost all devices you buy will be made in China even if they are not shipped from there. Cheap kits are available with CH341A and SOIC clip. I've read about people worrying about voltage- never had this issue with any programmer. If you want to do more than one off, a decent clip (Pomona) is a must. > > I see some offers to sell batteries which have more cells. Not sure if > these batteries will fit. Anyone have experiences with this. 9 cell batteries will fit the x230 - you want a 44++ or equivalent. Many of the 9 cells you buy will need an EC patch. I always apply this *before* corebooting. Don't know if that is needed. https://github.com/hamishcoleman/thinkpad-ec is the source > > Shame I did not have the money to buy the core I7 from the beginning, I > know those things can be replaced in some desktop MOBO's.

Consider upgrade to IPS if you can (although many people don't see difference in ordinary use) unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
