Lenovo ideacentre Stick 300

As a small business grows from a solo enterprise to 50 employees, the way you do IT is going to have to change. So how do you maximize your IT budget to make the most of your purchases. Here are a few of our tips:Consider total cost of ownership (TCO)
If you're weighing up which PCs to purchase for your business, think about the TCO. This includes all hardware and software expenses, IT support and maintenance, life cycle and replacement costs, and potential end-user costs associated. Many entry-level devices are harder to support and maintain over time, and not designed for rigorous daily use.The multipurpose advantage
Try and choose a device that offers multiple working modes, such as a single hybrid device that can function as both a laptop and a tablet. Research by Intel suggests that a 2-in-1 business device saves $1565 per user over...

  • Ubuntu 14.04 install on Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 replacing Windows 8.1

    I just purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190 and would like to replace Windows 8.1 with Ubuntu 14.04. As this is a secure boot machine, is there anything I need to watch out for besides disabling secure boot? I seem to remember that there is a boot partition that I need to leave alone (?) Is there a Lenovo tool installed that can save a copy of the drive as an image? I have already saved a copy of the system to a USB stick. There seem to be some issues in connection with installing Ubuntu 14.04 (booting, wifi, bluetooth) is there an overview of the install issues for the Q190 somewhere?
    Any advice appreciated.

    If you are looking to entirely replace Windows on your drive, you can overwrite the entire drive, boot partition and all...
    BUT...
    Since you seem to want to preserve your Windows installation, you can make your life a lot easier in the long-run by simply getting another hard disk drive and swapping it out for the one which you currently have installed. (If I understand correctly, the Q190 only supports one HDD at a time)
    Then you can install Ubuntu on the empty drive and not have to worry about writing a massive .iso,
    testing a massive .iso and at some point in the future trying to re-install a massive .iso.
    Here's a link to the user manual:
    http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/desktop_pub/lenovo_ic_q190_ug_v1.0_win8_en_r_online_20130320.pdf
    On page 31 it explains the BIOS options. Doing a UEFI Linux install is still quite unintuitive, though there are a few threads and video tutorials out there. If you're planning on using Linux, right now I would suggest good old legacy style.
    An overview of Ubuntu install issues is a pretty tall order for any machine. External wifi and bluetooth dongles are generally a problem, though the problems are often remedied after finishing all of the recommended updates.
    I could add more advice, but it will help if I know more about what you want from your machine.

  • Still curious about the ideacentre Stick?

    Last week, we announced the ideacentre Stick, which is a stick computer that you can plug into any TV display and turn it into a Windows PC with 2GB RAM and enough power to browse the web, create documents, etc.
    So, what are some best practices when it comes to stick computing? Well, we have some below, check 'em out:
    If you're still curious about what our device is, check out our datasheet here: http://news.lenovo.com/images/20034/LenovoideacentreStick300Datasheet_Final.pdf

    We had an absolute blast. I don't think I'll ever see a bigger fireworks display. I took a few pictures through our weekend (but not nearly enough to truly show what all we did!)
    This was the view from our hotel in Backbay. That water line is where the fireworks were set off.
    this is one street over from Newbury st. We were on our way to an improv show and ended up walking all the way to the center of the metro! (not a good idea when the wife was in heels, but we learned our lesson and took the subway whenever the walk was more then 20 minutes)
    This was actually shot from the science museum through a window. For reasons.
    Waiting for the fireworks. Everyone who had boats were piled up about a quarter mile from the barge. also city lights.
    and more city lights (we have a competition at work, this and one other will be my entries!)

    You'd need to tell us what kind of film and cameras you have. I think you'll need to buy some equipment to do that.
    An alternative is to send your film to a place like Integrated Imaging and they could transfer it to DVD or another suitable format for iMovie.

  • PS3 (playstation3) does not connect to Lenovo Ideacentre D400 Windows Home Server

    I just got the Lenovo Ideacentre D400 Windows Home Server this week. After getting it setup, my computer connected to it fine and I transferred my files over (photos, music, videos). 
    It was time to test out the media sharing. Alas try as I might I was not able to get the PS3 (Playstation 3) to connect or even find the D400. Any thoughts ?
    I searched the net and forums where i can usually find answers but found no mention of this device which I guess is not suprising since it is new. Let me know if anyone else has this and if they have any issues

  • EVGA Geforce GTX 960 Graphics Card won't boot on my Lenovo Ideacentre K410

    PC: Lenovo Ideacentre K410
           I bought it in 2012
    New Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 960
    New Power Supply: Corsair CX 430
    Issue:
    I plugged in my graphics card to my new power supply.
    I get the Lenovo splash screen, then 3 beeps, then a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left.
    If I disconnect the graphics card, and just use the VGA connection, everything works fine.
    How do I get my new graphics card to work on this PC?

    hi mwvg79,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    If you boot in to BIOS with F1 while powering ON the computerCheck if you system supports UEFI.
      UEFI/ BIOS should have a Uefi option under Boot tab or start up tab Try to set those to Legacy
    If non then this is a legacy BIOS already.
    also im thinking about Compatibility issues with this card, since this is not listed under the Maintenance Manual as replacement Parts.

    because the cpus in the 320 aren't second generation i3-i7, identified by a 2 at the start of the cpu number.

  • Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B Dual Monitor Possible?

    I was wondering if there was a way to have a dual monitor setup with the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B. We have the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330B 7747 and this is for an office application so no gaming. The MTM is 77471CU. I cant seem to figure out what type of card is in there. Will I need to install a new graphics card? If so, what card would work?
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok I got this figured out. There is a HDMI out and I couldn't see it because 1. it isdark under the desk and I couldn't move the computer well and 2. I am obviously blind as a bat and didn't see the HDMI out.
    So yes this computer is dual monitor capable

    Hi Alex,
    also in deinem K450 ist ein Realtek RTL8188E WLAN-Modul verbaut. Auf der Downloadseite ist dummerweise nur der Treiber für Win 8.1 hinterlegt. Ich vermute, hier wurde angenommen, dass unter Win 7 der inboxed Treiber verwendet werden kann. Laut deiner Erfahrung wird das Modul aber nicht automatisch von Windows installiert.
    Bitte teste ob sich einer dieser Treiber installieren lässt:

  • Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 E5KT20AUS

    I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre A720 with Bios version E5KT20AUS and i want to update it in order to have the UEFI capability selection in the Bios Setup.
    Actually the only way to boot UEFI is pressing F12 during the booting process. This is not reliable because you need to press F12 every time the PC restart.
    Anyone have a Bios with this feature please share.
    Thanks...

    uefi is the user interface for the bios if you dont have it now and have the old style bios, you might be stuck with it as i have not came across any bios being changed from old bios to the new uefi
    pressing a button is the only way to get into the bios (unless you have overclocking software that boots to bios to make adjustments) and this will not change not matter is you have the uefi or not
    you can not just install any bios they are made just for that make and model of motherboard

  • NO SOUND Lenovo IdeaCentre K Series

    Hi,
    I've just bought a Lenovo IdeaCentre and although the sound card indicates its working properly, I get no sound from the PC.  Am I just stupid - do I need actual speakers as well?  I've tried listening through earphones, but there's STILL no sound and all of the volume buttons are turned up. PLEASE can someone help me or tell me what to do?  I would've thought the chap who sold me the PC would've mentioned that I needed separate speakers, if this is the case.
    Thanks!

    hi mandy welcome to the forums
    try this procedure may be you can confirm whethger your system indeed has no sound or not
    got to run
    type "dxdiag.exe"
    let it check for all sound and video drivers in your system
    in the music tab click the "test diect music" you must be able to hear some music if you dont hear any you have got a problem
    try re-installing your audio drivers and restart the system

  • How to update drivers for Lenovo IdeaCentre C560?

    Hi all,
    I have PC Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 with Windows 8.1.
    There is installed LSC (Lenovo Solution Centre), which has "System" section and inside it is "Lenovo software update" block, where LSC advices me "Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC".
    But there are thess problems:
    There are 20 drivers for C560 for Windows 8.1 on Lenovo website.
    Which of them I have to download and install?
    I have tried at my Device Manager to verify for all of my devices to be last update (it was terrible work) and I always got information that my driver is up-to-date.
    Somebody have told me that LSC is not SUITABLE for C560 machine.
    So I have these questions:
    Does anybody have installed LSC on his C560? A does it work fine (so it find and install always new driver) or he only get abstract ionformation Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC?
    Are there other possibilities to regularly update drivers then LSC?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Dragnote,
    maybe it was caused my terrible English, so I will try to explain relevant aspects once again:
    1) I bought my Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 (part number: 57322363) on 22th of May this year from "stone" shop, not through internet. The Web site of this shop is www.mironet.cz, but there is not my PC there in actual supply, because the shop stopped to sell this model. But the parameters etc of this model is on Mironet's Web site here:
    http://www.mironet.cz/lenovo-ideacentre-c560-23quo​t-fhd-intel-core-i54570t-36ghz-8gb-1tb-dvdrw-nvidi​...
    but is is in Czech language.
    2) My Windows are in Czech language, so I will translate it for you into English and therefore some informations/messages can be not fully exact. OK?
    2) The LSC program was installed on my new PC with MS Windows 8.1 64-bit. I was only wanted to USE it! And why not. I got with PC only very slim User's Book, where was nothing much usable. And nothing about updating system and drivers, nothing about backuping etc. So I started to use SLC, because it was preinstalled there.
    3) Problems of detect WHICH driver I have to update and HOW to do it:
    3a) I tried three programs for detecting of my not-to-updated drivers: SLC, Detective and Smart Driver Update with these results: SLC only advice me to go to Lenovo website, Detective and Smart Driver Update gave me list of my not-to-update drivers, but the lists were rather different.
    3a) The  link I provided, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/replypage/board​-id/ideaCentre/message-id/9220, lists 20 drivers and all of them were released in period between 16 Oct 2013 and 01 Dec 2013, so I have used abbreviation "end of last year", but you are right - mostly of them are from 16 Oct 2013.
    3b) I TRIED to compare their date of released with drivers installed on my PC, but I have two basic problems:
    3b.1) How to identify WHICH driver on my PC corresponds to drivers on Lenovo web site?
    The names are NOT the same. For example: on Lenovo Web site is "Realtek Audio Driver V6695 for Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop", released 17 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.6695. Then I found on my Device manager "Realtek High Definition Audio". So my question already is: "Is it the corresponding driver or not?".  But let us say: it is.
    So, now we can continue with next information on my driver : date of release is 15 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.7093. So I am not sure if these two drivers (one on Lenovo Web site, second on my PC) are the correct PAIR. There is antagonism between date of release and the version number.
    3b.2) How to update, when I already "decided", that my driver is not-to-updated and therefore I need it to update?
    I launch my Device manager, then I choice some driver, then I click on "to update driver software" and there display two possibilities: find driver on computer, or find driver on Internet. So I click on "Find driver on Internet". Then I wait about 10 seconds and then I ALWAYS get the SAME information: "The driver of this device is up-to-date"
    This "optimistic" message I received for about 30 of my drivers. So there are three possible explanations how to explain it:
    1) LSC, Detective and Smart Driver Update lie to me, when they tell me "You have some not-to-update drivers", because in reality all of my drivers ARE up-to-date.
    2) I really have some not-to-update driver but because I cannot address correct WHICH driver is not to-up-date, I try wrong driver to update. Wrong, because it IS up-to-date.
    3) I identify the correct not up-to-date driver but the choise "find driver on Internet" open finding of this procedure in non-Lenovo Web sites.
    And maybe you are right when you write: "Sometimes, on a new system, Lenovo installs drivers that are "newer" than the drivers listed on their site. Don't worry, keep the newer drivers."
    I apologize very much,but I am not able directly to use the information from you.
    I never updated drivers on my old PC (I had it 12 years!), so I have no experiences what happens when I replace my NEW (up-to-date) driver with some OLD driver installed from Lenovo Web site. I am affraid that my keyboard, mouse, screen etc will stop its function.
    When I bought this Lenovo machine, I to myself have told that I will keep my drivers up-to-date, but I do not how.
