Hi. I'm using a Thinkpad R50P with XP Pro and I'm trying to enable fast user switching. I think I have everything correct - offline files disabled, checked the boxes in the control panel/user accounts setting, and not logging onto a...

That sounds like my IBM Thinkpad R50P 183223U. Expensive, but great laptop.

I had the same kind of thing happen to me -- I'd remove Messenger from the start menu, only to have it reappear every time I rebooted. I believe there is an option in the Messenger preferences -- double click on the icon in your...

Hi... I'm helping a friend buy a laptop that she can use in law school. She wants to keep the price around $1,500 if possible. I had suggested she look for something along the lines of: P4-M 1.4 Ghz 512K RAM (maybe just 256) 40...

I just got my R50p the other day (with 1G RAM), and I think it's great! The screen looks awesome at 1600x1200, I like the graphics card and the DVD burner too. I don't think it feels cheap at all. I haven't really tested out the...

From what I understand, if you have the high-capacity Li-Ion battery it will stick out slightly in the back. It's supposed to give pretty good performance though. How do you like the machine otherwise?

it's a 128MB ATI Mobility FIREGL T2... I figured anyone who was going to comment was familiar with the card...

I am thinking of buying a high-end IBM, either a R50p or T41p. Both have P4-M 1.7's, 1G ram, 7200 rpm drive, 128M graphics. The R50p has a 15.1" screen w/ UXGA 1600x1200, the T41p has a 14.1" screen w/ SXGA 1400x1050. Both...
