Does anyone know why I can't pin apps in the taskbar with this laptop? It just allowed me to do it for the same 4 apps that appeared the first time.

Only select the App and press right click of the mouse and select pin to task bar

I installed a Start Menu application. There are several -- Power 8, Start Menu 8, Classic Shell. I went for Classic Shell and it has worked very well for me so far.

Windows 8.1 is great on legacy support, and if you can get past the Start screen, which you can disable with a few hidden checkboxes, the experience isn't much different. The apps list is bigger, and you have gestures. I haven't had any issues with it, and can't figure out why people are bashing 8.1 so hard. MS bumbled into something late like they always do, but they seem to recover OK.

Often the 4th core is not actually damaged, it just doesn't perform quite up to standard during testing. There are ways to enable the extra cores on their desktop cpus, so I am sure the same can be done on the laptop, but I don't know the actual procedure.

The icon for the app should either be on your desktop already or in the apps section. It should come right up when you click on it, if it works like its suppose to. I actually found another issue with my already. This thing is absolute junk.

Honestly I was disappointed to the point that I rarely use the laptop now. I use my desktop computer for everything I do on the web, and if I have time then will just uninstall Win8 and install Win7 instead. I'm hoping that it is not a hardware issue though, as it is already 3 months since I purchased mine.

Yes, when windows 8 starts up move the screen to the right to see the next group of apps and it should be there.

Same issue, but the odd part is that it only noticeably affected our toshiba laptop with a realtek chip. Both thinkpads were fine. Generally it helps if we move the monitor a bit, place it on the floor or just that the laptop doesn't sit between the monitor and camera.

Thanks guys... downloaded Ubuntu from the master site and within a hour almost all my WIN apps that I needed are running.Very fast indeed. Now if only I can get some programming tools to write some small apps, I'll be all set. Have Windows all my computer life and want to see what else is out there.

Algee ... thanks for the update. After I did all the updates on my unit, the apps still would not work too. That is when I called Lenovo & was told to do the Factory Reset AFTER the updates were installed. You may wish to try this before sending it in. It worked for me.

How do you determine what the CPU speed? Mine appears to have 8 GB, but the memory is partitioned poorly, 1GB Internal and 5.6GB NAND so you are not able to load many applications at all, even if you add an SD card and move some of the application data to SD. In short this thing is very disappointing. I have also seen a lot of issues running applications from the Play store. It is OK for a browser, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Dropbox and Citrix Reciever, but definitely not for games.

I chiecked with Invellop. The wake/sleep problem is now fixed. The following is their reply. Yes, it has been fixed. The black once is available at this moment, and colored once will be available this Saturday. Sincerely, INVELLOP

Ok. I turned my leappads off. Then plugged them in via the USB and it connected and popped up for an update. After the update I was able to sync my remaining apps. Not sure why but it worked. Give it a try I guess.Now just need to figure out how to get the same apps on multiple leappads without buying/downloading 2x. :)

Windows 7. Windows 8 has removed the standard START at the bottom left of the screen and replaced it with an Apps button. The Apps is useless to me. They are not the same apps that you would download on an Android phone. I didn't realize how often I used the Start button, till it was gone in Windows 8.

Hmmm....I have not experienced that. Are you using the "remove device safely" function on the right of the task bar before removing the card?
