    Hi,

    I recently got the Levno T61 with a docking station. I like the hardware, keyboard, screen etc. a lot.

    I do however have problems:

    1. Updates, it feels like that the computer is doing a major update every day because I am frequently required to restart my computer and then look at this darn % counting to update. It is deeply frustrating when you work that the computer want to restart itself, you your momentum.

    2. I use the sleep function a lot by simply closing the lid. It has happened on a couple of times that the computer started itself. Just yesterday evening after dinner I wanted to check email and when i got the computer out of the case it was burning hot because the darn thing had been running inside my bag for a couple of hours.

    3. I use the system with two screens, again sometimes the second screen is "deactivated" for no apparent reason.

    Am I the only one who experience this?

    I am not looking for solutions as such, I merely want to hear if I am the only one with this problem...

    with best regards,

    Peter

    1. Are you talking about ThinkVantage's System Update? If the automatic updates bother you, I recommend you set it to manual.

    2. You need to go into your wireless properties and disable all the wakeup features. Some of the settings are in BIOS as well. Other people have reported the same issue so you can search NBR for more thorough instructions.

    3. Which graphics card do you have?
