Help needed - i want to buy the lenovo a720

Hi
-i plan on buying the lenovo a720, but a720 is generally being sold with windows 7. so when we upgrade to windows 8, are there any compatibility, bugs or drivers issues  that occur? i mean to ask is that does it run perfectly with windows 8 or not? im asking because it was released before windows 8 and i have read many pre-windows 8 computers not being fully windows 8 compatible and having driver issues etc....
-secondly when i buy it, i will have to take it to Pakistan on plane. so i was wondering if is it is possible for someone to kindly tell me the exact dimensions (length, width, height) and weight of the box in which the A720 comes in? because il have to carry it in my luggage so i want to know the exact size to be sure that whether il be able to carry that large box or not.
i have tried contacting lenovo but to no avail. i sent emails but didnt get a reply.  can someone plz help?
thank you in anticipation !

Hi Ehsan,
I bought a720 at the beginning of October and installed Windows 8 on a separate partition (now I have Windows 7 on C: and Windows 8 on D: ). Windows 7 works perfectly on this machine. Windows 8 has multiple issues with device drivers. I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Lenovo's web site. Still there are many issue (OSD, TV Tuner, touch interface seems to be limited, and so on). I'm working mostly in Windows 8 however and I like it very much. So these issues aren't showstoppers. Also, it is very probable that the device drivers will be updated soon.
The box dimensions are the following: 770 x 520 x 195 (in millimeters). The gross weight is about 15 kg.
If you don't need to buy something immediately I would rather recommend to wait for the a520 machine (not b520 !). According to its specification, the a520 machine will have better display matrix (IPS) in comparison with a720. It's display size is lesser however. One big advantange of a520 is that it will be shipped with the preinstalled Windows 8.

    It does not. It has listed :ATX Connector 24 (20+4) Pin X 1 PC, P4-12V 4 Pin X 1 PC, SATA 15 Pin X 2PC, IDE/Molex 4 Pin X 6
    You need something with 2x PCI Express 6 pin connectors.
    If you have enough 4 pin connectors left over after hooking up the rest of your computer this might still work though, if you use some adapters. They require two 4 pin connectors to power one 6 pin. I recommend looking inside your computer and figuring out which connectors you will need.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here. You can contact iTunes support via this page and ask them why the message is appearing : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then probably Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Glenn,
    I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

    Hi! I'm from Russia and i want to buy the new unlocked iPhone 4S in the U.S. in November, but i need to know, am i need this doc's?
    What to Bring with You
    Your old mobile phone, if you’re replacing it.
    Social Security number of the account holder.
    Valid government-issued photo ID.
    Carrier account password, if you have one.
    Your Apple ID and password.

    According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
    I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

  • I want to buy the camera connection kit but not sure if it will work with my camera it's a Sony dsc w35 can anybody help..

    I want to buy the camera connectivity kit for my iPad 3  but not  sure if it will work with my Sony dsc w35 camera can anybody help.

    That camera does not have an SD card. It uses Sony's Memory Stick™ DUO Media.
    The camera does provide for USB connection, however, some cameras require too much USB power from the iPad. Suggest you take your iPad to a camera store and ask to test it with your iPad.

  • I am in Vietnam and I want to buy the latest book in US

    I am in Vietnam and I want to buy the latest book in US, however, the app store does not support. How can I purchase the book? Please help me!

    You can only purchase and download content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from the US store you need a valid billing address in the US and be in the US when purchasing from it. At the moment I think that only free books are available in the Vietnamese store, so I don't think that requesting that the book be added to your store will have any impact (and Apple can't sell a book in a particular country without the publisher granting them a license to do so). Is the book available in any other ebook stores/apps that you have access to ?

    Sushant,
    The Country of the Adobe ID, payment details & store has to be same.
    Please see the link below that explains both of these cases:
    If you do have a credit card and billing address in the country associated with your Adobe ID...
    If you do not have a credit card and billing address in the country associated with your Adobe ID...
    How do I complete a purchase when I get an incorrect "country" error?
    IF you need to contact our support staff, please check that you are logged in to adobe with your adobeid and use this link to access support :  Contact Customer Care . Scroll down and click on the blue bar that says, "Still need help?” Contact us."

  • Want to buy The New iPad

    Hello everybody. I need some help,please.
    I`d want to buy the New iPad after i sold my iPad 2.
    But Apple cant ship it oversea(i live in Russia).
    Is there some shops,that will sell new iPads and that will ship it to Russia?

    Not any authorized resellers.  There are people who buy them from stores and resell abroad, but for very high mark-ups in price. Your best bets are either to contact a friend in a country with the iPad and ask him/her to buy one for you, or to wait for release in Russia.

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.
