Second-hand thinkpad x301 owner's thread.

If anyone is interested, I've just installed Windows 10 Preview on my X301 and it is running fine. Everything from Windows 8 moved over (drivers, etc) Start menu works great. The whole system seems happy. I'll keep testing.

 

About the SSD. I am running Crucial M500 msata with adapter. Works allmost perfectly. Only thing that isn't working is the ata password.

 

Hi, do you have graphic/display drivers for windows 8/8.1/10 that don`t produce so bright screen on lowest level?

 

I'm running the basic Lenovo drivers and everything seems to work fine.

 

Fixed.
This helped.

Hi,

I've just bought a x301 from ebay and must say i'm very happy with my purchase.

The fact is, the colours seem a little bit washed out so i would like to request the colour profile that you are recommending.

I'm aware i must have 5 posts to be able to receive a PM so i'll keep posting in this forum.

Thanks in advance, nice thread btw.

After all of these years, I finally took the plunge and purchased an X301 with the 1.6GHz CPU last night on eBay. I've owned many Thinkpads over the last 19 years, but never an X30x model-but I always wanted one. This thread finally pushed me over the edge so to speak. I just read thru all 51 pages to get an idea of what options and modifications are out there. Thanks to Bronsky and 600X for all of their information, and for xplayz in making the needed files publicly available. It will probably be a week before I receive it, but will try to remember to update the thread once it arrives.
