Red Laptop: Lenovo X100e

After getting my new notebook and using it for a bit. I though I’d review it.The X100e is Lenovo’s entry level offering to the world of ultra-portable laptops.

The current state of things

Well unfortunately I have found that when I got back home my main box has died or at least something has died and now I’m relegated to using my little Lenovo X100e (which I will post a review of as soon as I finish).
So far it looks like the RAM in my main box isn’t the issue and the video cards are fine so it’s now down to motherboard and CPU who are the main suspects.

Below is what my work space looks like now.

Left 4 Dead 2 in Triple Monitor Glory

So I finally bothered to put my far left monitor to its horizontal position to give Left 4 Dead 2 a spin in triple screen mode.
I used the same settings I used in my previous experiment with the original Left 4 Dead.
I’ve noticed that the game does not keep the screen size settings when you close it so you must set the resolution and screen mode to “Fullscreen” each time.

This is either because the game isn’t writing the config or I did something wrong but it seems to work okay, I don’t guarantee that my settings will work 100% with your own setups so a bit of tweaking on your part might be necessary.
First HD youtube upload so enjoy!
I might still be still processing as of this post but should be all good in a few hours time.
