Not sure why it was so slow in my last video, but it’s much faster now. The minor stuttering is just due to a defective hard drive.
Getting a Lenovo Thinkpad t400 and I need help deciding on the specs!?
I am getting a new laptop for school and I am planning to buy a Lenovo Thinkpad t400 but I am not too computer savvy and need some help.
1. Deciding between processors: I have the choice of getting Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9400 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2) or Intel Core 2 Duo Processor P9500 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2) 25W or Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9600 (2.8GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2). Is the T9400 good or should I spring for the more expensive ones?
2. Should I get an Intel Turbo Memory 2GB? What is it?
3. What would having an integrated bluetooth allow me to do?
4. Which wireless card is best? What difference does it make?
Intel WiFi Link 5100 (AGN) with My WiFi Technology or Intel WiFi Link 5300 (AGN) with My WiFi Technology or Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350 (AGN) with My WiFi Technology
5. For mobile broadband, I have the choice of Integrated Mobile Broadband upgradable or Integrated AT&T Mobile Broadband Card (3G). What does mobile broadband mean? Do you have to go through your phone service in order to use it? If so, I will not be using it so should I just get the upgradable option?
6. Difference between integrated and discrete graphics?
I would really appreciate any help you can give!
No, I won't be gaming. I will be in law school so I just need a reliable, quick laptop that I can use for 10 hours at a time without crashing.

There is a VGA out on the T400.
If you pay for a dock then there is a DVI output on the dock.
For 720p I would just go with the VGA connection. DVI/HDMI will not be that much better.
A VGA to HDMI converter is a total waste of money if you have a VGA input on the TV. All it can do is duplicate the circuits that are in your TV and I would suspect that the ones in the TV are hugher quality than the ones in a converter.

You should say t400 by itself. xD There’s another model called the t400s which is veeery different. x.x;

i thought benches and reviews said the discrete card (Ati 3470) was too weak to run Crysis on playable settings? what settings is this being run at?
