I haven't tried it on battery "save" setting yet but it should beat 4 hrs. if just surfing the net without streaming or downloading then 3.5 hrs on this max setting. Battery life with power set on "maximum performance" and med-bright screen setting while streaming videos /web browsing is 2.5+ hrs on my unit. This unit has a glossy, accurate 10-point touch screen with "Gorilla-like" glass surface and the screen is flush with the frames outermost rubberized edges. otherwise buy a Panas.Tough Book for more $$$. This particular unit of Lenovo (education edition) Yoga 11e has MI spec (military) ie, tough but it's a heavy 3.75lbs for an 11.6" Laptop/Tablet, due to its metal chassis and casing. Pros: Arrived quickly and looks almost like new. Pen is not includedĪdditional Information Date First Available While it’s simple, it’s easy to miss–especially if you’ve never heard of XMP and don’t know you need to perform this extra step.Learn more about the Lenovo 11e Model Brandīox includes laptop, battery and charger.
Whenever you insert RAM that’s advertised with faster-than-standard speeds, just head to the BIOS and enable XMP to ensure that RAM is actually running at those speeds.
You can also just boot back into Windows and open CPU-Z again. To do this, enable an XMP profile and look around your BIOS for the RAM timings to see how they changed. However, you could try enabling each profile in turn and choosing the profile that provides you with faster memory speeds, if you like. You should just be able to choose “Profile 1” and be done with this.
If there are two profiles to choose from, they’ll often be extremely similar, with one just having slightly tighter memory timings. (In some cases, you may just have one option to “Enable” or “Disable”.) It may be in an “overclocking” options section, although it isn’t technically overclocking.Īctivate the XMP option and select a profile. While you may see two separate profiles to choose from, you’ll often just see a single XMP profile you can enable. This option may be right on the main settings screen, or it may be buried in an advanced screen about your RAM. Poke around in the BIOS and look for an option named “XMP”. If you’re not sure what the appropriate key is for your computer, check your computer’s–or your motherboard’s–documentation. The key may be displayed on your computer’s screen during the boot-up process. Restart your computer and press the appropriate key at the start of the boot process–often “Esc”, “Delete”, “F2”, or “F10”. To enable XMP, you’ll need to head into your computer’s BIOS.
If you built your own PC and never enabled XMP, there’s a good chance your RAM timings are slower than you expect them to be. Compare the timings you see here to the timings your RAM is advertised to run at.
Download CPU-Z, click over to the Memory tab, and you’ll see what timings your RAM is configured to run at. You can check your RAM timings from within Windows. If you have an AMD CPU instead, you may be able to enable “AMP”–AMD Memory Profiles. These will be the RAM’s advertised timings. Instead, the RAM you buy has a small amount of storage on it that provides one or two Intel “Extreme Memory Profiles.” Your BIOS can read these profiles and automatically configure the optimal timings chosen by your RAM’s manufacturer. However, you no longer have to go into your BIOS and manually set the RAM timings value by value.
