Lenovo Windows 8 Laptop Black Screen

Was converting a little used 11.6 Lenovo laptop from windows 7 to a chrome book. I had problems getting the lenovo to recognize the usb Sandisk that I had put the Chrome recovery software on. Had read to try another brand of USB stick so I bought this Transcend 16 GB drive and the Lenovo recognized it right away. The installation went well and we kept it out of a landfill.

I work with two Kubuntu 12.04 Linux workstations continuously connected, and a Windows 7 employer's Lenovo 530 laptop that I connect every evening on returning home and disconnect every morning when heading to work (via a Lenovo docking station continuously connected). My monitors are dual Dell 3007 2560x1600 dual-link DVI, keyboard Avant Stellar (PCI connector via USB adapter), with a Microsoft wireless mouse. When using the laptop, I can use its screen in addition to the two Dells. I can switch among these seamlessly. I even have the less-used Linux workstation normally sleeping, as it wakes up properly as soon as I select it. A nice touch is that one Dual-Link DVI cable of each pair has the USB and audio cables integrated into it, keeping the wiring rat's nest manageable. The only annoyance is that, inevitably, because the external monitor configuration for the Windows 7 Lenovo 530 at the office differs, I need to reposition some windows when moving between home and office. But once I got the Windows configuration set up properly, the laptop at least automatically recognizes which monitor configuration it's connected to. (Because the DVI outputs of the Lenovo docking station are single-link, it's necessary to use its HDMI outputs and interpose Accel HDMI to Dual DVI converters between it and the MiniView.)

I use this 17 slip for my Lenovo 15.6 laptop. The slip case is simple and stylish. The black and blue make it very beautiful. The pad is good.

I bought a Lenovo Black Friday laptop last year just to use for non development stuff. It worked okay, but it was always having device interrupts. I put in 32GB of RAM and replaced the hard drive with an SSD and now it runs great.

Mac user switching back to windows, go Lenovo! Solid.

Included with my Lenovo laptop, thank you B+H

I use this with a Windows VM on my laptop (Fedora), where I passed the dedicated GPU through to the Windows guest for gaming, and the screen streams back to the host with an application called Looking Glass. The dongle is exactly what I needed to make the whole thing work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited when my LG monitor arrived! I have been using a laptop screen along with a small second screen but knew I needed even more screen space to be as efficient as possible. The LG UltraWide 49-inch monitor is big, really big! It provides all the space I need! I can have at least 4 full-size browser windows open at a time and many more smaller windows open if I choose. The unboxing and stand assembly was super easy. The stand attaches without tools and I had the monitor together and on my desk within minutes. I very quickly realized my existing desk setup was not going to be deep enough - which is not a bad thing! I will trade having this new monitor for an adjustment to my desktop any day! I am very impressed with the stand. You can adjust the monitor to a wide range of heights and you can also tilt the monitor horizontally and vertically to meet your needs. LG hit it out of the park when it comes to the stand! But I am most happy with the screen itself, of course. I have the resolution set as high as it will go - 5120 x 1440 - and it is super sharp and super clear. The on-screen settings are simple to navigate and well engineered. The monitor connected flawlessly with my laptop. One cool perk - the monitor charges my laptop so I don't have to use my laptop's charging cord. Saves on space and cord clutter. I am very happy with my LG UltraWide monitor. I would recommend it to anyone!

Use it for Windows 8 on old laptop and desktops. It has the same function on touch pad instead of screen. Allow touch screen functions away from computer when you lean back on couch. Nothing negative for comment. Great price! Would like to have backlite keyboard with solar panel.

This laptop is an outstanding value! I’m a Mac guy, and needed a Windows machine for certain bits of software. The screen resolution is impressive. Signing-in with facial recognition is incredibly handy. The built-in camera cover is a thoughtful feature. AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Acrobat run very well and the previously mentioned screen resolution makes work easy on the eyes. Touchscreen? Backlit keyboard? At a mid-$600 price point are surprising features. I’d buy this laptop again.
