Lenovo amaze me
A friend gave me a Lenovo 3000 desktop PC to troubleshoot.
I opened the case and found the mainboard is GA-G31M-S2L Eh? Companies like HP used bespoke mainboards from Foxconn, MSI, ECS or whoever. One HP I had the mainboard was chip-for-chip the same as a retail MSI board, just different BIOS. Presumably they did this to stop people upgrading, and buy a new PC in 18 months. So Lenovo just use a normal board. Mind you it is not very upgradable anyway due to the crippled Intel 31 chipset. |

This is one of the things that makes Lenovo awesome: industry standard parts where applicable, upgradable and user-serviceable parts where custom parts are needed (laptops, in particular) This is good to know. Must be why they're now the #1 PC maker. Yousuf Khan |
