What Chipset is in the T500? No specs anywhere

I am getting ready to buy a T500 for use with Digidesign ProTools LE 8. Digidesign has specific chipsets that are compatible and others that are not compatible.
Could someone please point me to where I can confirm which chipset is in the Lenovo T500? Is it the same in the W500?
And what's the difference between the T500 and the W500?
Thanks in advance

What chipset does Qosmio X300-14U support?

Hello
Does anybody khow exacltly what chipset is in the Qosmio x300 14u please?

Hi
As far as I know the Qosmio X300-14U belongs to the PQX31E series and it has been equipped with the CORE2 EXTREME QX9300 (2.53GHZ) 1066MHZ CPU and with the MCP79-SLI chipset!
The MCP79-SLI is a new mobile nVidia chipset.
I found some important specs of NVIDIA MCP79 Chipset:
1066MHz FSB Speed
800MHz DDR2 Memory Support
1333MHz DDR3 Memory Support
3 Gbps SATA/eSATA
NVIDIA DriveCache (similar to Intel Turbo Memory)
Gigabit Ethernet controller
HD Audio
TPM 1.2 Security
20 PCIe 2.0 lanes

Laptop editing with Premiere Pro CS4: what are the most important specs

Laptop Editing: What are the MOST important specs?
Hello everybody, I have been a long time lurker, but I decided to join in and share my voice.
I've been editing, for a while now, various projects of various lenghts shot on my HV20, on an IMac using Adobe Premiere Pro. Actually, I bought the CS4 Extended Production Suite last year thinking that it made sense to be able to edit, do the coloring and effects+ sound all within the same suite.
AND, it came with OnLocation, wich is, I think, a fantastic tool. I really want to be able to record and monitor my future shoots using OnLocation. I've seen how useful monitors and scopes are on set, and the idea of being able to shoot in HD and actually checking the focus on something larger than a few inches is very appealling!
So a laptop is in my future. Now, what are the most important specs?
I could buy 1) a barely used Macbook pro early 08- 17" HD led display ,4g Ram ddr2 ,nvidia 8600M GT 512 VRAM ,800Mhz BUS, 200G 7200HD
and have enough money left to buy an Apple Display 30" refurb
OR 2) a new Macbook pro 17, 4 g Ram ddr3, 512 VRAm, 4g Ram ddr3, double procsessors 9400M+9600M GT 512 VRAM, 1066 BUS, 500G 7200HD
and wait for a second display!
Plus, of course, a portable External Scratch Drive on the Express Card. Now, if that fast drive is handling the footage, could'nt I settle for a 5400HD in the laptop,, they seem much less prone to problems-clicking noise, heat-than the 7200, especially in the new unibody model. Is 800 versus 1066 BUS a terrible trade-off? In terms of secondary displays , I've heard less than lukewarm things about the new Apple 24 LED (glossy is no-no for me).
My intentions are to make documentaries and short fictions as well. I make a living as an actor so I don't need to be performing as a director/editor business wise!
I do want to explore that side of the craft, in a professional and enjoyable way though. I know that, in addition to the laptop, I will get a MacPro in a few years.
Thanks a lot for the inputs!

Successful video editing (as compared to tear your hair out video editing) requires at least two hard drives... one for all software and one for all data... some people use 3 drives, with data on one and scratch files on the 3rd drive
I'm not sure about software, but everything I've ever read in this forum says 5400 is NOT fast enough for the data drive
If you want to edit video... you have to buy the hardware that works

CPU, RAM, bus speed, system HD, external HD, graphics - basically in that order
You should think in terms of purchasing for maximum future use. In that regard the new 17" MacBookPro is the way to go. The specs are significantly better than the early '08 MacBook and you will be much happier in the long run with performance, software support and longevity.
If you really need a large display, consider a 24" Dell, HP, NEC, etc. in the $200-$300 price range to stay within your total budget. You will be pleasantly surprised how good they are.
You could start out with the 5400rpm system HD - you can replace it anytime with a 7200rpm drive if necessary for hardly any more $ than it would cost in the first place; and replacing it does NOT void your warranty. But you WILL want/need a good external FW800 or eSATA drive (for eSATA you will need an eSATA expressCard/34 however) no matter what.
One other thought, if your primary use will be with an external display, and you don't actually need eSATA capability (FW800 will do you just fine at this point), then the 15" 2.66GHz or 2.8GHz MacBookPro models will be just fine at a significantly lower cost than the 17" model.

HT1338 The battery life of my Macbook Pro lasts less than what is indicated in the specs. It is a real nuisance!!! especially when I'm in a meeting and have to utilize my Mac laptop!

I am having trouble with the duration of my Macbook Pro battery. It does nt lasts as long as what is indicated in the battery specs. Is there something wrong with my battery? I have charged it as required when I bought my Mac. Is this another overlooked and over-estimated presentation of Apple? Please enlighten my perceptions regarding this matter. Thanks

how old is the battery? How many charge cycles are on the battery?
You can get this information by opening the application "System Information" in the folder "/Applications/Utilities". Select the informtion from the "Hardware > Power" section
It should look something like:
In this case I have 35 charge cycles on the battery. The larger this number the more likely it is that you will have less actual usable capacity.

What are the detailed audio specs - Intel iMac 2.66ghz (early 2009)?

Hi, I am wondering what the detailed audio specs are for this system - Intel iMac 2.66ghz (early 2009).
The online description only provides the basics. I would like to know more, such as frequency response, sound to noise ratio, etc. Is this information available anywhere?
Thank you.

Apple hasn't posted detailed release notes for the 2009 iMacs yet, but I doubt that the audio specs are any different from those in the 2008 iMac which can be found here.
Regards.

Inspire T3030 Speakers - what are the power adapter specs (need replacement)

Hi, My grandparents were given a set of T3030 speakers as a gift last year, but now have somehow managed to misplace the power supply. Creative doesn't have a downloadable manual for this product. Could someone please give me the adapter's specs so I could by an replacement?Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Couldn't find the manual on the US site. Hope the power adapter specs (2v 2.9a) are accurate for us Yankees.

Viewing Angle on the T500

Does anyone know what the vertical viewing angle of the T500 is ? It is starting to annoy me. I cannot get an even brightness/contrast level across the entire screen. I have settled on keeping the screen at an angle that keeps top half of the screen on the dark side and the bottom half looking light and faded. Did I get a bad panel or is this common. Everest shows the monitor ID as "LEN4050" and the Manufacturer as "LTN154X3-L02"

Welcome to the forum!
The issue that you're facing is extremely common, and has been for the last several generations of ThinkPads with TN panels...
I'm not sure that I have any good advice that I could share... either learn to live with it, or get rid of the machine altogether...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Does anyone know if my G3S Iphone will sync Itunes on my MAC Power PC G4, OSI0.4.11? If it will, what operting system does the Iphone need?

My apologies, I read your post the wrong way. I see now that the original poster was confused about the specs and you were simply responding with the appropriate info.
I've gotten defensive after reading the forums. The forums are full of posters just looking to prove someone wrong or stupid, rather than being helpful. I shouldn't have assumed you were one of those people. Sorry.
I did my homework and discovered that my PowerPC will run Leopard. It can be purchased for $129 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. This is much cheaper than replacing my laptop.
I hope to upgrade my Mac soon, though! Can't believe this thing is still ticking. I love Apple.

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

SSD performance in the future with the T500

SSDs apparently perform slower as they are filled up and blocks are rewritten. Here is an article on it.
Will there be a firmware update to solve the problem on the T500's (2081-CTO) SSD?
Will firmware updates require wiping the data on the drive?
Lenovo shipped my Vista OS with automatic defrag, superfetch and prefetch enabled. Bad Lenovo! They should all be turned off for an SSD.

Hi olddoc, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
This is a very interesting question.
As I understand it, Windows 7 will be the first version of Windows which has optimizations specifically for SSD's.
The Trim operation mitigates the performance problem you mention. For it to work you obviously need Windows 7, and an SSD which supports Trim.
Some SSD manufacturers have made it clear their drive firmware will be updated to support Trim (e.g. Intel), some take their own approach to mitigating the problem, and some have not yet said what their approach will be.
Windows 7 detects SSD's and automatically chooses the right settings for SSD operation (defrag, superfetch, prefetch, readyboost, etc.).
As SSD prices fall and Windows 7 releases this is going to be of interest to more Community members...
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

What are benefits of a T500 over a 15.4" T61?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I can not find out what are benefits of a T500 laptop over a T61 one, is there any feature that T61 has and T500 does not?
or is there any feature that T61 has and T500 does not?
As I will use them with a 9cell battery, which one is more energy efficient and has smaller weight.
thanks

wjli2, out going models will always represent a bigger bang for buck than new models. Anyway you are not comparing apples with apples. The T61p does not compare to the T500. The W500 is the replacement for the T61p
Right now you can get up to 40% off a T61, if the offer is still open

When stocks run out you will soon see some deals on the T400/T500, then you will see some bargains!

What's up with the Caldigit HD One tower?

Looking to go Raid 5 and stumbled across this today.
http://www.caldigit.com/HDOne/
It looks like the same specs as the Caldigit HD pro, just smaller and cheaper. Anyone see this one at NAB? I'm strongly leaning towards buying this when it comes out, because it looks to be the cheapest 8 bay raid 5 solution on the market. The 2 Terabyte model is going for $2,300.

I consult for CalDigit, and use their products, so let me take a crack at this. I will be getting the HDOne very soon myself.
Differences:
Controller cache: The HDPro comes with 256MB of controller cache...upgradable to 2GB. The HDOne is 256MB only...not upgradable. What that means is that with more memory in the controller cache, the seek times remain high even when the unit starts to fill up with data. Typically the fuller the drives, the slower the read/write. Having controller cache eases the burden by keeping information about what is stored on the drive in RAM...thus making seek times faster. VERY good when dealing with 2K footage and your drives are full. Keeps the speeds fast.
HDPro has a Cache Battery Backup...so if you lose power to the unit, the cache retains the data for a period of time..meaning it doesn't need to rebuild that information. The HDOne lacks this.
HDPro has options for TWO power control units...load sharing, meaning each takes on half the power load. And if one fails, then the other can take the full brunt. This ships as an option on the HDPRO. The HD One ships with one power control unit only.
The HD Pro was designed for the HIGH END guys working with 4:4:4 HD and 2K. So that the speeds you get with the unit empty are the same you get with the unit full, and built in redundancy across the board. The HDOne is pared down for the guys like me who work with compressed HD like DVCPRO HD, and don't need the huge read write speeds to remain so high.
Shane
HD Pro is hot swappable, meaning you can unmount the drives, and with the unit powered up, remove the drives without an issue. With the HD One, you should first power down the unit, then remove the drives.
