Which ThinkPad X Series is better in term of performance

My friend will be transfer to Sudan for 3 years and I recommended for him to purchase X series but he ask which X series is better X 200 or X 300 as my experience on X series only on X 24, X 42 and X 61, and is there any Lenovo service center around in Sudah? anybody can help?

X42? you mean X41 right?
X200 is a 12.1 inch form factor laptop
X300 (superseded) is a 13.1 inch form factor laptop now replaced by the X301.
X301 is far more expensive than X200, because they use more expensive casing material and also include a built in dvd burner. Also, the X30x use a 1.8 inch format hdd rather than the 2.5 inch hdd in the x200, also there is lot more standard equipment in the X30x compared to the X200.
It really depends on your budget.
So which you your friend buys depends on their budget and what they need the laptop to do.

i don't see a specific service centre listed for sudan, there is only a general one for Africa.

Code comparission which is better in terms of performance

In my pl/sql procedure the following code exist
SELECT count(*) INTO L_exists
          FROM txt
     WHERE templ_id in (ISecurTempl,ESecurTempl);
Now i want to replace the query with
SELECT count(*) INTO L_exists
          FROM txt
WHERE templ_id in (                                                       SELECT INT_SEC_TMP FROM table(cast(parse_table as sec_template_tbl))

SELECT EXT_SEC_TMP FROM table(cast(parse_table as sec_template_tbl))
Can you please tell me which part of code is better in terms of performance
and why?
Thanks in advance

I want to know which is betterThere's not enough information for anyone here to be able to tell you.
Obviously the first one "looks" faster, but without knowing the tables, structure, data, indexes, platform etc. etc. etc. we won't have a clue.

What happened to the Titanium in ThinkPad T Series? Bring it back!

I have owned seven T series ThinkPads in my life, and I have converted to MacBook Pro.
Why has Lenovo removed the titanium from the T61?
IBM had named the T series for its titanium. That is where the T had come from.
They have said that they have removed it for better wireless connectivity. MacBooks are made of aluminum, and they connect perfectly. Furthermore, IBM titanium models had connected just fine as well.
To replace the sexy titanium cover with a cheap painted plastic is product line suicide!
The paint comes off the T61, and it feels so cheap.
This is why I have converted to MacBook Pro.
Lenovo, please bring back the titanium casing. The Z series had been brilliant. You did not give it a proper chance.
Professional notebooks are to be made of metal casing, titanium or aluminum. Anything else is substandard.
Bring back titanium, and you will see five immediate notebook purchases from me.
MacBook Pro, with an aluminum unibody enclosure **As of September 15, 2008, our company has completely switched to Apple. Having used ThinkPad products for over 10 years, we had desperately tried to find just one reason to continue using these products, to no avail. We are of the view that ThinkPads are no longer premium products. We wish you the best of luck with your ThinkPad! Happy computing…**

Hello,
I have never seen an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad T-series notebook with a titanium lid. I checked this article on Wikipedia, and it did say that some models of the the Z60 series (and maybe the Z61t) had a titanium lid. The Wikipedia article did state, though, that ThinkPads contain several novel components, including magnesium and titantium, carbon-fiber reinforced plastic and other composite materials and alloys. So maybe there is some titanium, but just on the inside or at the hinges.
I have a friend who has one of the Apple Mac Books with the aluminum chassis, and he uses an external wireless card with it because he says its wireless reception is poor. I believe he may have one of the older models, though, so this may be something which has been corrected in later generations.
If you really do want a titanium lid, perhaps you could order a sheet from a company like Online Metals, have whatever burnishing, laser-engraving, polishing, coatings and so forth applied, and then do some kind of chemical or RF weld to bond it to the lid.
Personally, though, I think that if you are going to go through that kind of effort, it might be more interesting use a material like palladium foil. That might be a little more expensive, though, then using titanium.
If the issue, though, is just the color of the lid and not its place on the periodic table of the elements, then perhaps you could use a service like ColorWare, LaptopDesign or M-Tech to paint it for you?
I have often wondered how IBM chose up with the letters A, G, R, S, T and X to describe various models. I had thought the "T"-series meant "thin-and-light" and not "titanium." It is strange that they used "T" instead of "Ti" for the model name, but perhaps they wanted to avoid confusion with Texas Instruments who, in the past, has had their own notebook computer models. I wonder what elements or materials the other letters in the other lines are supposed to represent?

Which i/o approach is better and why?

can someone please explain which i/o approach is better for obtain the data from the InputStream and why? and consequences for reading streams that contain 2-byte characters?
thank you.
InputStream in = conn.openInputStream();
approach 1
byte[] byteData = new byte[(int)conn.getLength()];
in.read(byteData);
String rawdata = new String(byteData);
approach 2
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[128];
int t;
while( (t=in.read(buf)) != -1) {
baos.write(buf,0,t);
String rawdata = new String(baos.toByteArray());

First way will be best in terms of performance: you do all the reading procedure in one sentence, avoiding the chequing of the loop condition check and invoking less times the method read, and you too sabe the memory space required for the object baos you employ in the second approach.
In performance terms I would say second option saves CPU and memory, so it's better.

Which Thinkpad to buy for gaming/video editing?

I'm not sure if this is the right place, I am new to this forum, so forgive me if its not.
I have a friend who has a Thinkpad T500 and I feel it would suit my needs. I want a laptop that can handle running multiple programs, gaming, video editing, etc.. I am not sure which model is a good one to go with. I want some feature like the "think light" and the navigation button (red button in the middle of the keyboard). Basically I would like the features of the Thinkpad T500, but with a budget of $800. So any advice from all you lenovo people out there would be greatly appreciated.
T400
Intel® Core™2 Duo T9400 2.53 GHz__Windows 7 Professional__3GB Memory__160GB, 7200RPM Hard Drive__14.1” WXGA+TFT-CFL__ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470--

most of the thinkpads have the thinklight except X series Tablets, maybe the SL/L series, and X series 100e?
All thinkpads have the red trackpoint.
Have you tested your friend's laptop and see how it runs the programs you want? gaming maybe slightly difficult on the thinkpads, unless you get the W series laptop, since the GPU may not be up to the task.
800 dollars isn't how lot of money if you want a specced out Thinkpads.
Here is the closet one i can find that fits your need. It is new and from Lenovo outlet.
http://outlet.lenovo.com/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/20827yu.html
If you need more GPU oomph get a DIY Vidock later on, then get the ATI 4770, but you can only run the games on external LCD. But it should run most of the later games on medium settings with little problems.

Why did they have to ruin the Thinkpad T-series?

Hi all,
Just bought one of the very last T430 in a sellout, and this will most likely be my last Thinkpad, because Lenovo's design changes in the current T models are totally inacceptable for me. Actually, I even disliked the new keyboard layout on the Tx30 models, but I can still live with that.
I still do not understand why they had to ruin the iconic Thinkpad T-series. The obvious aim to make Thinkpads more Apple-like is totally ridiculous.
Consumers who want fashoniable laptops will still by from Apple. And most people who used to buy Thinkpad T models do not care about fashion. I even know many Thinkpad owners who loved there T models for being somewhat ugly.
Lenovo claims that there design changes were based on research, but the arguments they gave for the changes are mostly ridicuolous. For example, Lenovo says that the 7th row of the keyboard and the dedicated trackpoint buttons were removed in an attempt to make the design look cleaner and more regular. But really: What kind of silly argument is that? Ergonomy is certainly more important to the traditional Thinkpad owners than cleanliness or regularity of the design.
Apple's Jonathan Ives might claim that beautiful design and ergonomic design are the same, but if he does so, this guy is lying. There are many beautiful design that are highly unergonomic and there are many highly ergonomic designs that are rather ugly. Beauty and ergonomics do not have much to do with each other.
Apart from tactile feedback, the most important feature of an ergonomic keyboard is layout that sticks to the standard layout as much as possible. The reason is simple: This way, you do not have to adjust when you change between your laptop and a standard keyboard. Any unnecessary deviation from the standard layout is unergonomic for anyone who most also work with standard keyboard.
I spell it out for you: Apple keyboards are highly unergonomic due to their deviation from the standard layout. Only Apple fanboys who use Apple devices only will find these non-standard keyboard ergonomic.
In general, leaving away dedicated buttons just to make a device look cleaner or more regular, is totally unergonomic. Sacrificing key groupings for a cleaner look is also totally unergonomic. All these design decisions are wrong from an ergonomics point of view. Large touchpads that get into your way will typing are also unergonomic.
Lenovo should stop this and return to IBM's design principles. I want ugly Thinkpads again with an irregular, but ergonomic keyboard layout, dedicated trackpoint und touchpad buttons.
If Lenovo wants to be innovative, they should concentrate on the things that really need to be improved: Better displays, better battery life, less weight, etc. pp.

Thinkpad t23 series lights and button symbols diagram.

thinkpad t23 series lights and button symbols diagram.
I would like to get a diagram that lists the lights and the Thinkpad button along with its symbols. Like an arrow pointing to a light and telling me the X is functioning or not, along with the rest of speaker? symbols. Fn combos and their definitions would be good too.
I do not have the owner/user manual for the T23 2647TU but I imagine it would be printed in some form there?
Could anyone help me with this by directing to a web site or screen shot to the users manual that shows this information? I would appreciate it.
Thank You,
Bob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Bob,
so here are some screen shots for you and others who may read in the future. This is a nice discovery for me also. Very useful, complete User's Guide for T23, XP version, which I actually installed on my W500 running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The possibilities are endless, not just for T23, but for other older models which possibly have a User's Manual archived online. It means I could simply cut and paste so many steps of information which for myself are so obvious and elementary, but will be invaluable to one of my young students learning basic computing skills. And the fact the User's Guide runs on my W500 means only the student needs to have a T23 (or whatever other machine in their hands), I don't need to have another T23 set up to access the manual.
Here are a few step-by-step guidelines which may can help you and others reading in the future. Don't mind me putting so many details. As a teacher I like to explain things in such a way that even if one my 3rd grade students were to read this post they could follow the steps. Some people have never really used a laptop at all before and will be glad for simple, detailed steps:
How to install T23 Access User's Guide on a Windows 7 machine (should be nearly identical procedure for XP or Vista):
(1) As mentioned before just go to the Drivers and software - ThinkPad T23 download page: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT072383. There, under the "Software and utility" category you will find: Access online User's Guide for Windows - ThinkPad T23: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS001263. Download the file and transfer it to your T23 using a USB flash drive. (In my case I downloaded it directly onto my W500)
(2) Double-click to run the downloaded file. It will extract setup files to C:\DRIVERS\ATP_PKG by default.
(3) Click the START button ---> Computer----> Drivers ---> and double click to open the "ATP_PKG" folder. Double-click to run the "SETUP" application file.
(4) After installation, you can navigate to Start Menu ---> All programs ----> Thinkpad ---> Thinkpad information, and RIGHT-CLICK "Access Thinkpad". You can then choose to "Pin to taskbar" and/or "Send to desktop (create shortcut)" which will create an ACCESS THINKPAD logo right on your desktop with the cool old IBM logo which you can see in one of the pictures.
I have included a few snapshots showing my W500 with T23 User's Guide installed: Main welcome screen with cute T23 animation (hence the blur); Main menu- notice even a link to reach IBM for warranty information (if anyone still has a warranty on their T23, joking of course); And "everyday use" menu which includes status light indicators and FN-key assignments you asked about. So you see how useful these old "User manuals" can be, because if anyone comes on the Forum we can just cut and paste information from the User's Manual. Some people (especially young people ) need that level of clarity and simplicity. And it's just a small file, 21.8 MB downloaded onto my W500.
Below I <CUT> and <PASTED> a section from the User's Guide. Here are the Function keys you asked about (the pictures which didn't come out in cutting and pasting got replaced below by " " and are just little asterisk symbols and a small diagram showing where FN key and Home/End keys are). Of course this can be remedied by taking screen shots instead:
Function keys
The Fn key function enables you to change operational features instantly. To use this function, press and hold the Fn key (1); then press a function key (2)--F1 to F12, PgUp, Home, or End.
The following shows the functions of the Fn key with other keys:
Power conservation or battery power
Fn + F3: Turn off the computer display, leaving the screen blank. To turn the computer display on again, press any key or press the TrackPoint(R) pointer. Also the computer display is turned on if the ac adapter is attached to or detached from the computer.
Fn + F4: Put your computer in standby mode. To return to normal operation, press the Fn key independently, without pressing a function key.
Notes:
This mode is called suspend mode in Windows(R) 95 and Windows NT(R).
In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, this combination of buttons functions as a sleep button. You can change the settings so that pressing it puts the computer into hibernation mode or even shut the computer down.
Fn + F12: Put your computer into hibernation mode. To return to normal operation, press the power button for less than four seconds.
Note: To use Fn+F12 for hibernation in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you must have IBM PM device driver installed on your computer.
For information on the power management function, refer to Extending battery life.
Other functions
Fn + F7: Display output on the computer display, an attached external monitor, or both. Pressing this combination causes the display to go from the computer display to the external monitor, then to both together, and then to the computer display again:
External monitor (CRT display)
Computer display and external monitor (LCD + CRT display)
Computer display (LCD)
Note: This function is not supported when different desktop images are displayed on the computer display and the external monitor, or in certain cases in which the same desktop images are displayed on both screens, but the refresh rates of the screens are controlled separately by the system.
Fn + F8: Switch the computer screen size between expanded and normal mode if your computer display image is smaller than the physical display.
Note: This function is not supported in Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Fn + PgUp: Turn the ThinkLight on or off.
Note: The status of the ThinkLight, on or off, is shown on the screen for a few seconds when you press Fn + PgUp.
Fn + Home: The computer display becomes brighter.
Fn + End: The computer display becomes less bright.
Note for the Fn key lock function
The following setup gives you the same effect as when you press and hold the Fn key and then press a function key.
Start the ThinkPad(R) Configuration Program. Click the Accessibility button, and click Enable for Fn key lock. You can also set up by typing PS2 FNS E at the command prompt.
When the Fn key is not enabled, you need to hold it down while pressing a function key. When it is enabled, you can use the function keys more easily:
Press the Fn key once. The next time you press it, you can release it and then press a function key, to get the same effect as if you had held the Fn key down while pressing the function key.
Press the Fn key twice. Then, for the rest of your session, you can press any function key without pressing the Fn key again.
Have a great day. (I do not work for Lenovo)

Adobe Cloud has 2 different Muse programs.... how do I know which one is the newer better version?

So I am new to Muse, and my Adobe Cloud has 2 different programs from Muse... how do I know which one is the newer better version?
One Must program (Muse CC 2014.2) has a black background when working on it... it looks like other Adobe programs such as Photoshop.
The other one is light color (Muse CC) very similar to the black color Muse on functions.....
One of the difference I notice is that the light color Muse has a few widgets in the library, while the black background Muse seems to have an empty library
So... why are there 2 different Muse programs in my Adobe Cloud?

Hi
The latest version of Muse is 2014.2, so you need to uninstall another version of Muse manually.
regarding the items in Library, you can add items in your library manually, as shown in this article
Adobe Muse Help | Organizing and reusing design elements using Library panel
Please let me know if you have any other query.

That is the point of a beta version.
Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, as well as speed/performance issues. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. "

2.macbook pro
2.4GHz Intel Core i5

Intel hd Graphics5 and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M dual graphics
thanks..

I have an MBP with the next geneeration of the Intel grpahics and the AMD discrete graphics and like both. Daughter just got a new MBP with the same Intel graphics and the next generation of the AMD as a replacement for her 2009 MBP. Likes the Intel better than what was in that old MBP...and she is a senior art director at a large ad firm.
If you can, it would be best to see the two machines side-by-side to compare the graphics.

Lenovo Thinkpad X series for pro wildlife photography?

A Lenovo Thinkpad x series enquiry please!
As a professional wildlife photographer I'm after a tough notebook that MUST have the following:
A matt screen-a must for viewing photos outdoors
HDMI- imperative so I can hook it up to my HD monitor back at base
large capacity battery - minumum 6-7 hours in the field
potent processor
as much RAM as possible
powerful graphics card
light weight
Will the X1 or X220 have these? I thought they had glossy screens??
Much appreciated folks...
Moderator edit: Added detail to subject.

Nothing in the X Series has a truely "powerful" graphics card. The X1 and X220 both use the Intel HD 3000 graphics integrated into the processor, not a separate graphics GPU. What exactly are your needs? You mention photography but not video. It should work fine for still photography but not necessarily for video processing.
Besides that point, the X220 looks like it can meet your other needs if you configure your purchase to match (8 GB RAM, external battery pack, DisplayPort to HDMI cable). The X220 has a matte screen (X1 has a glossy screen).
