Hi, all I have an electric piano that I want to record into my laptop. I've done this before on other computers so I know what I'm doing with the piano side. However, my new laptop has only a headphones jack, nothing for mic or line-in. Is there any way round this or am I stuck? To be clear...

Hang on. From that definition, the one-year mail-in warranty sounds like a standard, nothing-extra warranty. But if so, what's the difference between that and the "base warranty", which IS the standard warranty? Just in case anyone has experience of Lenovo warranties. I've asked on the Lenovo...

I see. Thank you.

No one sells it, at least in the UK. I'd be buying from Lenovo directly.

Thanks. No closer to knowing what a mail-in warranty is, or who pays for the mailing, though!

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I couldn't see a more suitable one. I'm going to buy a Lenovo but their website is very short on warranty details. The included option is something called "base warranty". There is no explanation as to what this means. If I wish, I can purchase something...

Thanks for the helpful replies, all. @Arjai, I was always taught that no question is "silly"; if you don't know the answer, you need to ask it. And I would have thought the strength and purpose of TPU was somewhat defeated if posters were to be told their questions were silly. I'm not a...

Yes, I know, yet another guy asking about processor speed. Sure, I've read up on this, and yes, I'm aware that processor speed is not the be all and end all. (Though how simple were the days when computer wars came down to "well, mine's a Pentium 3 2.4gHz whereas yours is only a Pentium 3...

haha, got it :)

@RCoon - suggestion noted. I'll see about doing that. Actually my requests are not all for the same notebook. First I was after one (for work, you'll recall) and since then I've become unofficial researcher into one for my mum and friend, too. I should have told them I can't type :) Giveaways...

haha - one account was created on my phone as I couldn't recall (or seemingly retrieve) my password for the first account. Not trying to be deceptive - just the way it worked out.

What's an INF? This is getting a bit beyond my comfort zone... :)

Aha, so no Linux support for 850M. Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if they plan support for it...

Thanks. And re: Wine / NVidia - should be OK on Mint?

Thanks, Arjai, very helpful. Surprised 6gb was insufficient; I know it's not a huge amount either but thought it was enough to get fairly decent gaming provided the other specs are up to the job.
