Thinkpad W541 User come in please!

Hi everyone I am considering purchasing a new laptop and I am considering W541 as one of my options. I have few questions however, before I can make a deicision and I will be very thankful if anyone with/without experience with W541 can answer it! Btw i am going to use the laptop primarily under linux + windows for light gaming/office work.
1) SCREEN. Is the FHD screen REAL matte or it's somehow glossy? I suffer from eye strain/headache from retina/glossy displays or very bright white color. I won't consider any laptop with that kind of screen. Also the FHD seems to be the lowest resolution I can get, do you guys think it is large enough for a person with prescription glass to see? (otherwise T440p seems the only thinkpad left with HD resolution).
2) CPU/RAM: There are two "low end" option for CPU: i7-4710 MQ and i7-4810 MQ. I know they are pretty similar and I don't need extra 500 mhz. However, from one website, the 4810 seems to support DDR3L 1333/1600 while 4710 only supports DDR3. I am not sure if that's correct because Lenovo let you have 4710 with 1600 MHz ram. Also do you think 2.5 GHz base frequency a huge difference from 2.8 GHz? How about power consumption?
3) Battery life: I am going to get 9 cell battery if I buy this one. Does anyone have any real-world experience how long it might last with internet/office/pdf work?
4) RAM replacement: Is there replacement ram out there at 1600 mhz for replacement? I can only find 14900 mhz from crucial. Oh I found 1600 from kingston and 1866 from kingston? Can I even use 1866 for W541?
5) Fingerprint/color sensor: Pretty cool feature to have. But will those be well supported in Linux, or even in windows? My friend has an old T500 with fingerprint option, and it is hell slow to read/use that function.
6) microdrive/raid: Will having a raid be beneficial? With ssd?
7) num pad keyboard: anyone like/dislike it? Does having the num pad make all keys closer and harder to type?
8) Final thought: pretty dumb but do I need to wait for broadwell quad core or even skylate? It's "almost" Sept .

This is a known issue with JDev 11.1.1.3
The [url http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/knownissues-086971.html#bc2]release notes give you the workaround.

  • ThinkPad W541 shuts down randomly

    Hi all, I have looked at the forum and seen that my problem is "quite common" on older versions of ThinkPad.Here we are with a ThinkPad W541, with core i7 vPro (quad core), 16G DDR3... one of the best of the moment. Running under Windows 7 Pro (waiting for Windows 10). The problem is about random shut down of the computer, either plugged or on the battery.The screen freezes, and a few seconds after the computer is off.After that, I can turn it on pushing the power button and it asks me if I want to start Windows the normal way, or in safe mode... No error, no blue screen, nothing that tells me that there is a problem. The problem was present the first days of use, 2 months ago, but only about once a week. The time I go to eat, or something else, and when I come back the computer is off. I first though about "normal" Windows problems", but it seems not.Everything is up to date.Lenovo care center tests do not see any errors.Now, the problem is happening several times a day, especially when I move the computer from one room to another... or more strange, when I touch the screen to move it a bit !! But it still happens randomly, when I am not aside the machine. I recently added 16G RAM (2x8G Crucial ballistix DDR3 12800 1.35v) to get the maximum of 32G accepted. This RAM is guaranteed compatible.The problem should not come from the new RAM, because it was present before I added it.But it may have increased the frequence ?? I did not see real solutions for that problem in the forum. Could anyone help ? Cheers.

    Hi, Thank you for the comment. - The "old memory" is Samsung DDR3 8G 12800 1600 MHz. The "new one" is Crucial Ballistix DDR3 8G 12800 1600 MHz.- The system does not overheat and fans are running perfectly- Cores temperatures are between 40 and 48 °C- RAM temperature is 45-46 °C- SSD T° is 50°C- All other T° are about the same- I never got any blue screen before crushing Crushing preferentially happen  when I move the screen !! Could it be a bad connexion somewhere ? I run the Lenovo Solution Center tests under Windows and with a Linux Bootable CD. ==> no error found. Cheers 

  • ThinkPad W541 weird noise

    My Thinkpad W541 is really new, just received it two weeks ago. So far so good, but there's just one little annoying bit. Whenever it is on, I can hear weird noises, it sounded a bit like two rotating metal cylinders scraping against each other, a little like drizzling sound.. It isnt really loud, but loud enough for me to pick it up when the room is quiet. I am not sure which part/ component is causing the noise, but I suspect it to come from the fan louvers though i am not sure at all. I also noticed one interesting thing about this problem, the sound is the loudest whenever I am on my desktop or when i switch to the start screen. For instance, if i suddenly open file explorer, the sound intensity gets lesser but when i minimize everything to show the desktop or the start screen, the sound intensity gets back up. 
    Is this a problem I need to worry about? I've invested a lot of money into this machine, so if there's some hardware glitch i really want to get it fixed ASAP before it damages other system components. Thanks in advance guys. 

    Hi, the engineer visisted an replaced my current fan with a brand new cooling fan. But it doenst seem to solve the problem. When I turn the computer on, the same problem persists. Which can mean either two things, one , the general design of lenovo's cooling fan is flawed or two, the problem isn't with the cooling fan. But i really don't understand, if it's not the cooling fan then what could it be? I mean mine comes with an SSD, the only moving parts in the whole machine is the cooling fan? Or not? I am clearly not the expert here. 
    And to be frank, I really don't understand the problem at all. The buzzing sound is only the loudest when i switch to the start screen and desktop, but when I am on other windows, like if i open a browser or a notepad on top, the buzzing sound intensity just drops to almost unhearable. I tried changing the desktop wallpaper into different colors shcemes and see if it makes a difference, but it doesnt. After the fan replacement, i've updated the computer's BIOS from the website, and the update doesn't seem to make any difference. I also did more testing, i changed the setting to do nothing when i close the laptop lid at the power options so that when I close the lid only the display turns off while the computer is still running. So i tried switching to the start screen (where the buzzing is loudest) and try closing the laptop lid to turn off the display and leave the laptop running, then i tried listening for the buzzing sound. It turns out that the buzzing sound disappears when I turn off the display. This led me to think that perhaps this has something to do with the display stuff?Or the cooling fan's control system is programmed according to the display? I dont know. 
    To summarize, here are the facts that I have tested over and over again:
    1) The buzzing sound is the loudest when I switch to desktop, app list , start screen. 
    2) When the display is turned off (laptop lid closed) the sound disappears (the laptop is still running)
    3) The problem persists after the cooling fan is replaced with a brand new one.
    4) The BIOS is updated to the latest version
    5) There are no other issues with the laptop other than this annoying bit.
    Some advice on my next step would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Notify me when a specific user comes online

    As said in subject, seems to be reasonably better feature, than notify me when users come online.
    Can be implemented via mouse menu over contact. Same as here:
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client-Ideas/Pop-up-notification-when-a-specific-user-...
    Vlad.

    or even better, "notify me once when this user comes online" with missed notification on skype tray icon if notification was missed. Would be a great feature.
    (And yes, please reduce skype files size and and all that social posts integration, much better if social integration would be a super cool option just to call people over a stable 3g connection)

  • Hi all, can someone help me in getting last login date of a user in CQ5 please?

    Hi all, can someone help me in getting last login date of a user in CQ5 please?

    CQ is REST based and does not have the concept of session. So there is no feature to track login or logout details.  Most of our customers use some kind of central authentication Ex- SSO hence no need arises to have such functionality built in.  However if needed you have the ability to implement such at a project level solution. Ex:- custom login modules or auth-handler by taking project specific constraints and requirements into account

    Yep, I've been reading through other threads on lots of different sites over the last few hours and I can't seem to find a working solution, even though some seem to have worked for other people.
    Most of them hadn't been updated in a while so I made my own post to see if anyone has anything new.

    Common on jailbroken iPhones, not so on non-jailbroken iPhones. Thus, if your phone is not jailbroken, restoring from backup will hopefully fix the issue.
