It just doesn't work. And now they made the BRILLIANT choice to shut done the ONE thing that made Lenovo computers worth getting, Thinkvantage system update. It was a working product and made system administrators life simple, and those idiots shut it down. Makes me wonder if we should switch to another supplier. Since Lenovo started making the old IBM machines it's been nothing but downhill. I hate their website, the uptime must be really low. It just doesn’t work.

It is a great machine. The rant was more on the fact that the Finnish site for Lenovo never really works. But I found a better way. I use the UK site now and it hasn't failed me yet. But the X200s DOES have a Ericsson F3507g HSDPA module. And after visiting the UK Lenovo site and getting the latest drivers for it it works. I'll post a nice little screenshot for you to look at if you really don't believe me. And administering for a company with 2000 users and having first hand contact with hardware and support issues I really see myself as qualified to rant on things that don't work.

Also the fact that you are using Vista tells me you are in no way qualified to judge a thinkpad. man, do you even know what laptop you have !? because X200s does NOT have a HSDPA module !!!

I just noticed I can use the UK version of the site and it really works. Got the latest Ericsson F3507g drivers and I'm now surfing with 3G :) Happy times. Yes well try using Lenovos Finnish site.

HP has increased their server speeds. Downloads over 50kB/s are now possible. :) Can’t say I have much experience with Lenovos’ site, but the times I’ve visited it I have been greeted with errors.
