What series to buy for this use... really want the lenovo but not sure which one

i am doubting between t400/t400s and x200/x200s
what am i using it for:
- well i'm into internet marketing and some web development
- using web analytics sites, assessment sites, promotional sites, you tube, twitter, facebook etc.
- so i surf the internet (wireless : at home through wlan and when travelling wifi)
- email
- i have to be able to design a banner or webpromo on regular basis for which i use primarely photoshop
- i really need to be able to use it in light environmenst & outdoors as i like to be in the sun :-)
for personal use:
- viewing streaming full screen video (like a tv show i missed or you tube movies)
- download movies (using quickpar/winrar to unpack and view on tv through external harddrive)
- occasional photo editing again using photoshop (i whatch the pics on tv)
- the longest possible battery time
- bright enough to experience great outdoor perfomance
- fast
- fingerprint security
- webcam
- wlan gigabit/N
- wifi
any more???
i trust this well informed community can help me out as i can't get good info through (online) resellers
thanks

T400s, X200 and X200s are mainly built for road warriors where they don't want to carry extra weight and yet still have a powerful enough laptop for their light photoshop work, document processing, HD movies, powerpoint and publisher, etc.
For outdoors you should look to the new 'Special series of X200t (t for tablet)' which has this new screen that is specifically designed for people whom use their laptop in the outdoor environment providing maximum brightness and minimal reflectivity.
http://www.thinkpads.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/lenovo_thinkpad_x200_tablet_outdoor-viewable-scr...
For movies and streaming hd movies, any of these laptop would be sufficient, as T8xxx, T9xxx Penryn processors are have SSE 4 included that have special algorithm that increases processor efficiency for HD movie decoding. Also Intel X4500 MHD integrated graphics card are specifically designed for blu ray and hd movie decoding without using CPU resources.
If you do light photoshop work, then any of these laptops are fine. 9 cells in a T400s or X200 or X200s should get you upwards of 5 hours use on a single charge. 
The T400s have built in displayport out, which is missing in the T400, while the X200 and X200s can use this port only through the ultrabase dock.
The one thing that T400 can be optioned with is the dual gpu if you get the ATI graphics card, which includes the X4500 and ATI 3470 which one use depends on whether you are after graphic processing power or battery life.

  • Would Like to get an iPod but not sure which one would be the best for me..

    i have done some research on the iPods, the easiest to use, which ones are best for fitness workouts, etc. I had an iPod Classic sometime ago but I ruined it because I tried to install the program it came with but it was already installed and the second install I did ruin it. At least this is what the genius bar guy said.
    Anybody who knows iPods fairly well. I am new to my MacBook Pro and I would like to be able to synch the music in iTunes with the iPod for music for various activities. I also have trouble with the ear phones that come with the iPods, so I was looking at a website that had earphones ranging from $300 to $500 approx for people who have various needs in addition to using them at studios while mixing new music. I just want a pair that will stay in my odd shaped ears, have great quality, and work well with the iPods.
    Any recommendations on iPod for exercise. I am not big on videos but having some good music gets me through a hard workout. One problem I have is that the genus guys could not fix the multiple setting, software, preference settings, etc. that had become corrupted in my old Mac and because several genius guys could not fix the numerous problems they gave me a new MacBook Pro. However, they recommended that since my problems were all setting, software issues and problems I have add with adding music in iTunes, that none of my pictures, music or setting be transferred to the new MBP but to start over. They did not even save any of my iTunes and pictures which I thought was odd but what could I say since they were giving me a new MBP. If anybody has a legal way of transferring from my friend;s iTunes the music he has that I can use for the yoga and mind-body classes I teach, which I am getting nervous on because I start the classes next week. I do not have the money to buy the yoga and other fitness music in hours like I use to have. My friend will let me transfer some of his music that he had from his own cds and some but few from iTunes, but that I could get them on myTunes if I could find out how to do that.
    I researched that and since my friend did not care about atwork, artists of the songs on one cd, for example, the genre, tracks, artists, etc. he does have some but I would want to do the research and get the artwork and the titles of the various songs, the tracks, and all the info one gets when they transfer a new cd to iTunes. I had this problem with some of my old music but with google images, and finding the cd online I was able to get all the CDs accurate, even the double CDs that iTunes would have as one cd, but I figured out how to get them to one cd.
    The ways ITunes Help advices on moving songs from one iTunes to another computer with iTunes, they recommend an iPod, transferring them to a DVD and burn the DVd on to my new MacBook Pro, with several other option that were beyond my ability to understand. If anybody has suggestions how to get my friend;s songs to my iTunes so I can have enough New Age and Yoga music for the classes that start next week, I would really appreciate it.
    I also want to start backing up using time Machine and LaCie Rugged hard disk FW, USB, 400 0r 800 FW, 7200 speed, usb, etc. I am not up-to-date on the speed of the LaCie and if the 7200 speed would be a waste of money. Any recommendations for getting this device, not hooking it up to a wireless devise but to the Time Machine. If it does not come formatted for the new MacBook Pro and is it a big deal formatting the hard drive so I would be able to start using it right out of the box. Any suggestions n the iPod, and the LaCie rugged external hard drive would be a hugh help. I cannot afford a Time Capsule right now so I though the LaCie would be the next best thing
    Thanks!!

    I always suggest going to monoprice.com for cheap priced and good quality cables, adapters, aother videio/audio realated hardware.years.
    Example:
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    You can search for the cable of desired length there as well.
    Been using monoprice for years.   Excellent source for this kind of stuff.

  • When trying to install a digital copy, everything works including the downloading, until it is processing to iTunes then I receive "You do not have enough access privilages for this operation. Check the disk to make sure it is clean and retry." error.

    When trying to install a digital copy, everything works including the downloading, until it is processing to iTunes then I receive "You do not have enough access privilages for this operation. Check the disk to make sure it is clean and retry." error.
    Tryed several times, Same Results. Tryied rebooting, logging out & into iTunes, Same Result. Seems to do this error with every digital copy, but works eventually. But now will not post digital copy to my iTunes at all. Just same error over and over.
    Any Thoughts??

    Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

  • Looking to buy my wife a Mac, not sure which one

    llooking to buy my wife a Mac and not sure which one, she has a windows 7 , any suggestions?

    Impossible to answer without any details. How does she use the computer?   What would she like to do on a new one?
    Windows 7 is not a computer, its an operating system. It can be an excellent computer rivaling a Mac or be bargain basement offering outdone by even the most modest Mac.
    Laptop or Desktop?  Large screen or small? Features? Price range?
    So without any real context there's no way to say what you should or should not buy. Or what that Windows 7 computer can do currently,  so as to suggest a similar offering from Apple.

  • HT1349 help  I would like to authorize my new laptop for my itunes library  I had 5 authorized computers on my account not sure which ones they were one of the autorized computers has crashed so i want to transfer all of my account history onto my compute

    my acct. shows that I have 5 authorized computers for my itunes acct.  not sure which 5 but I do know it is not my new laptop.  our main home computer that I use for managing and adding to my music library may have crashed .  so  I deauthorized all 5 computers (that was my only choice).  I was then hoping to authorize just one computer (my new lap top),  I was then hoping that my entire music library would then show up via my itunes/apple account   where is it ?
    How can I transfer my entire itunes acct. history onto my new lap top?  any suggestions?    or how can I recover my music library off of a potentially crashed computer?

    You can deauthorise all 5 at once, then reauthorize the one you want.
    Learn how to authorize or deauthorize your computer with your Apple ID.

    You need to log into iTunes on the computer you want to deauthorise. Otherwise, contact contact iTunes Store support to see if they can help.

  • Is there a training program for iCloud and how to use it effectively.  I have downloaded the booklet but not sure how I access files, photos saved on iCloud.

    I am trying to understand cloud but have very little information for a non technical person.  Is there any product that I can access that will provide me with step by step details on how to access things stored in Icloud.  I have recenly lost all my data on my external hard drive and thought that I could restore through icloud.

    It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.

  • Crop Tool Confusion When Used to Change the Dimensions (but not the resolution) of an Image

    Picture this.  You have a real photograph in front of you.  Its dimensions are 7x5 inches, and you want to cut out of that photograph, a 4x4” square.  You’re not bothered by the rest of the photograph, you’ll discard that, so you mark your 4” square on the photo at the place you want to keep, and with a pair of scissors, cut (crop) the photo accordingly.
    Using the analogy above, I’m having difficulty achieving what should be an extremely simple operation in Photoshop CC 2014.  I have an image which is 5000px wide x 3800px high at a resolution of 240px/inch.
    Using the “W x H x Resolution” option of the crop tool, I want to crop the image to 2100px x 2100px, maintaining the original image resolution of 240px/inch.  No matter what settings I use in the crop tool toolbar, the crop tool insists on sizing the crop by assuming the full length of the shortest axis on my image.  In this instance the vertical distance.  If I initiate the crop, I do end up with a 2100px square image at 240px/inch, but the shortest original dimension (and hence pro-rate the image) has been rescaled and resized.
    What I was expecting to see is the crop tool outline simply showing a square which represents 2100px a side at 240px/inch relative to the image I’m viewing.  I would then drag the outline to the position where I wanted it, and then crop the image.  This isn’t happening.  I can manually resize the crop area with my mouse, and rely on the floating information pop-up to check the actual crop dimensions, but this seems counter-intuitive (not to mention difficult when attempting a pixel accurate crop).
    Strangely enough, if I change the size of the crop window by using the mouse, and right click inside the crop area, the context menu has the option “Use Crop Box Size & Resolution”. Selecting this option updates the toolbar with the chosen crop size and everything is as expected.  Surely, this is what the crop toolbar should do in the first place?
    Am I missing something here? I may not perform this particular operation very often in Photoshop, but I’m sure it worked the way I thought is should before!
    Regards,
    Steve

    You'd better use the Marquee tool for this. Set the desired number of pixels in the options bar. Click and drag and finally Image > Crop.

  • Is there any way to redownload a movie? I bought a movie a while back on an old computer and now the computer doesnt work. I really want the movie but there is no way to get the computer running again.

    I bought a movie and i want it is it possible to download it again?

    Hi liam,
    What you are hearing is correct. There is currently no Mac app for iBooks, so no way to get them on the Mac.
    You can use many of the other e-reader apps like Kindle on all of your devices and your Mac.
    Sorry for the bad news....

  • I accidently deleted my pre-installed safari program on my iphone and can't find it anywhere. I have tried to search spots to download it again, but not sure which is the right download as only see for mac users etc.  Need help to get safari back Iphone 4

  • Several privacy/ tracking add-ons, not sure which one causes this (MAC): clicking certain thumbnail photos (like @ some catalogs), opening some websites (like The Week), and even a calendar at my bank, my computer stalls then freezes. Any ideas?

    The stall is 30-60 sec, then a tiny window pops up. No words, but two buttons at the bottom - gray/white on the left, blue on the right. Clicking these does nothing.
    I CAN move the cursor, but CAN'T change or close tabs or scroll. I CAN use the top apple bar, but when I select "Restart" I get a "Firefox has prevented shutdown" error msg.
    All I can do is manually press the power button and shut down that way.

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • What shall i do, if my movie only plays the sound- but not the pictures- EVEN if i have the right attitude?

    I try to public my movie, but the problem i have is, that the "finished" movie doesn't play the video WITH the pictures. It plays only the sound.
    What kind of attitude i have to use, to get the clip with sound and movie? Because i try these from a tutorial : Premiere Grundeinstellungen / Projekteinstellungen / Rendereinstellungen Tutorial - YouTube
    and that still doesn't work.

    Your question appears to be about Premiere Pro, not Premiere Elements. I recommend you contact the Premiere Pro CC forum.

  • Looking for an lcd replacemen​t screen. Not sure which one is needed.

    Hello, first time on this forum so I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. I recently received a Toshiba Satellite with a broken lcd screen, first time I've ever worked on a laptop. Removed the screen without a hitch but I am not sure exactly which monitor I can replace it with. I have taken photos of the model and other numbers. 
    I'm not sure if 2 or 3 different screens can fit into the same laptop or you need the exact screen.
    Posting pics below of the numbers of the back on the lcd screen. Looking for an exact replacement or something that will work in its place for sure.
    A hearty thank you to anyone who takes the time to help! :]
