Re: Itching for change... Thoughts?

integrated video in i5-540UM is Intel HD Graphics (IronLake 45nm) Core @ 166-500Mhz, up to 1720MB DVMT (probably with 3GB+ of ram). it should support even 2048x1536 over VGA.

Re: Itching for change... Thoughts?

that low res might have something to do with the 1280x1024 max external output, as listed in the specs, on the fully-rugged line.

could be the dock also, but to be sure, hook it up to the CF-19 directly.

man, that's a very very nice offer, thank you! (PM sent)

How's your new CF-19 doing ?

Re: Wifi Bluetooth combo

I always swap up Ubuntu on newer installs. I HATE the UNITY interface!!!! Thankfully it's a decision they made that I don't have to live with. Why not install a different flavor from the beginning ? - Xubuntu (XFCE), Kubuntu (KDE), Lubuntu (LXDE). http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/derivati...
