4G on a T450?

• ThinkPad T450s Review

  Introduction
  

  The ThinkPad T450s is one of the best new ultrabooks. If it is not as slim as some, it is still quite compact and easier to service than the thinner machines and screen Full HD IPS is a standout feature.

  This review is based on a ThinkPad T450s, 20BX Type of Machine production, product ID 20BXCTO1WW.

  • Intel Core i7-5600U processor
  • 8.1 Windows Pro 64
  • 14.0 "FHD (1920 x 1080)
  • Camera HD 720 p
  • Intel HD 5500 graphics card
  • 4 GB DDR3L - Base of 1600 MHz SDRAM
  • Fingerprint reader
  • Hard drive 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 2.5 "
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) before
  • ThinkPad battery 3 cells Li-Polymer (23.2Whr) rear
  • Country Pack 45W in the United States (2-pin) adapter
  • Intel 7265 AC/B/G/N Dual Band Wireless + Bluetooth Version 4.0

  From the receipt:

  • 4 GB Samsung SO - DIMM has been installed
  • Hard drive has been replaced with 1 TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD.

  Construction
  
  T450s build quality isn't old ThinkPad level, with a clear devaluation, but is still very good. Problems include the difficulty of dislodging the lower lid (after removing the 8 screws) for joining plastic textured inside and fingerprinting, revealing instead of the old finish rubber. But it is quite solid, no bending and quite compact.

  Connectivity
  
  Port is good enough on both sides with nothing on the back. All USB ports are 3.0 with excellent performance. But Mini DisplayPort means you need to maybe buy and carry a dongle of easy-to-lose. Performance of the Wi - Fi connection (802.11ac Intel 2 x 2) seems better than previous cards Intel generation 802.11n, even those with 3 x 3. Bluetooth connections are fast. The speakers are decent, but nothing to write home about. Quality of the webcam is improved over previous generations, but still struggles in low light. Fingerprint reader is a great improvement. (Thanks, Apple.)

  Performance
  
  The good news is that the i7 T450s finally turns out to be a bit faster than the i7 Sandy Bridge (T420s) on the tasks of processor such as video encoding, despite a processor intensive ultra low voltage a bit more slowly. The machine is cold and silent most of the time, with only a gentle breath of air under high load.

  Memory

  4 GB of memory is soldered to the main Board and there is only a single SO-DIMM location. While you can add a 8 GB SO - DIMM for 12 GB total, that would mean that half of the memory could run in single channel mode, which can have a very important impact on the performance (as much as 20-30%), especially since the graphics adapter integrated uses part of the main memory (memory available). So if you care about performance, you need to stick with 8 GB, which can be marginal for things like video editing HD Ultra. (The impact on the performance, of course, also applies to machines with only the Basic 4 GB of memory. The promised NVIDIA 940 M graphics option is not yet available.)

  Screen
  
  The IPS 1920 x 1080 screen can take some getting used to, but is really much better than TN screens and is close enough to a calibration right out of the box. (Remember to burn on the screen for at least 24 hours before making any justice.)

  Keyboard
  
  The keyboard of the island is pretty good for what it is, but the provision still suffers compared to the classic ThinkPad keyboard. Homepage layout end delete and PrtSc are poor and other keys like Pause/break are missing entirely, now only available as Fn combinations (such as Fn + B for Break) that are not marked on the keys. Also annoying is the lack of status lights of the hardware (your hard drive, Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, load connection). You can count on the Windows taskbar for wireless and in charge, but you will need to install something like DiskLED (which works well) to the disk activity. Keyboard backlight is usable (despite some annoying light crosstalk between the top row), but not as good as the classic ThinkLight.

  Power

  With just the standard 2nd battery, not long battery life with big bulge on the bottom, the T450s still usable on and off by a day without running out of battery power. The power adapter provided is quite small, but only 45W, cannot quickly fresh when the system is under load. If you care about fast charging, you should get the Slim 65W adapter.

  Summary

  A return for most welcome to your ThinkPad, with a very good IPS screen and finally enough power processor ultra low voltage measure to the Sandy Bridge.

  Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is available at low cost from B & H.

• T450s stops when the tilt/closed lid

  Hello

  I noticed this problem which looks like 3 weeks ago or not. I am running 64-bit Windows 10 on my T450s and when I start to close the screen, the screen will turn black. The red light at the rear stays on, but as soon as I fully open the screen again, the computer will be turned off completely. My options are set to put the computer in mode standby when the lid is closed, but it can happen when the tilt a few degrees. I'm on BIOS version 1.22.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Normtw,

  The solution that has been provided to this client, Connor_o, was a repair of the equipment. He was released in a TIP Service. I recommend contacting the Lenovo Service and SEO Service TIP # T0110-SF14 / HT101490, as your system will probably require the same repair.

  Thank you

• T450s - support e-drive?

  Does anyone know if the SSD for the T450s options supports eDrive (and, if so, if it works with Bitlocker or is still blocked by the driver of the RST)?

  Thank you very much

  Joel

  Lenovo does not sell any e-drive SSD for T450s (or any other ThinkPad series 50).

• Purchase and installation of the internal battery on lenovo t450s

  Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to install an internal battery in a t450s (repackaged without internal battery) and if so, where I could buy the battery.

  It seems to me that the internal battery of T450s is the same as those on the T440s. You can access it by removing the rear cover. I shows that there are 3 numbers (different suppliers). 45N1773, 45N1111 and 45N109. They can be purchased directly from Lenovo (by IBM) or eBay. IBM link is:

  I know that the16gb m2 card is different with normal 2242 m 2, I am correct?

  Photo of m2 16 gb ssd

  If I want to buy the kingston ms200 and install it to the location of the wan card, is this possible?

  Moreover, who can tell me the difference between a wan wireless & lan card wirelee card?

  Thank you very much.

  Hi jacky711 and welcome

  What do you mean, 'm2 '? normal 2242
  SSD 16 GB in the T450s cache has m.2 form factor and size 22 x 42 mm. It's a usual size for these readers.

  Kingston SSDNow v + a drive chassis mSATA mS200, it differs from the m2 one. So it cannot be mounted in slot m2, either for the cache drive or wwan/ssd devices.

  WLAN card means the card to access the networks WiFi, WWAN (also commonly referred to as "wwan modem") card is for access to broadband (3G, LTE) Mobile networks offer cellular service operators.

• New T450, won't wake up after extended sleep

  I got my new t450 3 days ago and everything was fine, apart from a problem installing Windows 10. Now however whenever I try to wake up my laptop from sleep, that he will not wake up until I hook it up to a charger.

  The strange thing is that it is only after staying asleep for an extended period. If I wake him up after 10 minutes, the amount of the fine, an hour later, but the power button flashes, the fan will click, but it's going to be it. It will repeat these 2 actions but do nothing.

  When I plug it into a charger but it works perfectly normally. Whenever I hold the power button to put it turns off and try to wake up again, if its still on its battery always completely insensitive sound.

  This question seems to be popping up with other models to as a brief look shows forums, someone at - it a solution?

  
  

• A few questions on ThinkPad T450s

  Hello

  I am actively choose a laptop computer and found that T450s is almost a perfect candidate! Have just a few questions about this:

  1. is there a BIOS option to swap the Fn and Ctrl keys (manual says Yes, but someone could confirm)?

  2. is there is a way to configure a keyboard to use the F1 - F12 keys without pressing the Fn key? If so, then what is the way to achieve (BIOS, Driver or software Lenovo)?

  3. If the laptop is controlled with the 256 GB SSD, then it is M2 or 2.5 SSD "?

  4. If I order a laptop with 4 GB or RAM, it would be possible to install the add-on 8 GB later? If so, is he 1600 Mhz CL9 or CL11? ECC or non-ECC? What is 1.35v?

  Thanks in advance!

• operating system is not found in my new T450s

  Hi friends,

  I just bought my new T450s of the United States. It is pre-installed with win7 64 bit, and I upgraded to win10. After that it is upgraded to win 10, I tried to restore factory settings. Unfortunately, he failed with an error. Then I gave up and just restarted the laptop, but it cannot be turned on more with the message "an operating system was not found. I tried several times, it turns out the same result. I tried the F11 key to restoring and has not yet. The recovery disk should be destoried. In this case, what should I do? Can I bring to the Lenovo repair shop to fix it?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

• T450S screen protector.

  Hello.

  I think that my t450s could have a factory installed toasting protector. I just wanted to know if it's an applied removable film or some kind of coating.

  

  Thank you.

  Hi Crudeoil,

  According to the image it looks like is to have the screen protector, but for the safer side you can also put an and look out for the anti-glare protective film.

  I hope this helps.

• T450s: Hosted network feature not supported?

  I have a ThinkPad T450s bought in Dec 2015 with Windows 10 Pro. It has the Intel AC 7265 wireless card. I am trying to use the hosted network feature Windows to use the laptop as a hotspot for other devices, but I can't make it work.

  When I open an administrator command prompt and run "netsh wlan show drivers", the parameter ' hosted network supported:' has the value 'no '.

  I tried updating the wireless network card driver via the tool companion of Lenovo, via the Intel driver update utility and Windows via the Device Manager. The wireless driver has been updated to version 18.330.1 dated dated 05-01-2016. Then, I rebooted the machine but still no improvement. The characteristic hosted network shows as not supported. I also tried showing the devices hidden in Device Manager but under network adapters, there is no virtual card listed Microsoft hosted network.

  Is this a driver problem? Anyone with a broadcast network animated T450s as being taken in charge?

  Thank you

  Well, I found a solution on the Intel community forum: https://communities.intel.com/message/327193. A couple of users in this thread (the one with a Lenovo X 1 carbon) suggested to use an older version of 18.11 18.12 driver. So that's what I did and it worked! Here are my actual steps:

• ThinkPad T450 - Hotkey features integration stops working after the screen lock

  My OSD volume and brightness no longer works after that screen is locked using a timeout or Win + L. All other information like the caps lock or disbale microfone OSD are still working, but brightness and volume bars are gone.

  I have the following configuration:

  Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  BIOS 1.21 (taken from the site of Lenovo)

  8.80.05 (from Lenovo system update) keyboard shortcut function integration

  1.67.12.07 (from Windows Update) power management driver

  Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.15.4285 (from Windows Update)

  I tried already to older versions of integration function Hotkey and power management driver, but this does not solve the problem.

  When I unlock my T450 all services (On Screen Display, PM Service and Hotkey customer charger) are still ongoing, but I can get the OSD back by restarting the service of customer magazine (until the next Win + L) keyboard shortcut.

  Is this a common problem or is it just me? Any suggestions?

  Best regards

  Bernd

  Lenovo has released a new version of the Hotkey features integration on 15 April, version 8.80.10, which includes support for ThinkPad T450.

  It can be downloaded here: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t45...

  You could let us know if this solves your problem?

  Thank you

• T450s update of Lenovo?

  Is it possible to send for my Lenovo laptop, so they can add the Nvidia GPU?

  I have a T450s with Intel HD 5500, but thought that if it was possible, if they can add the GPU?

  The GPU is part of the motherboard. It would be cheaper and easier to sell yours and buy a new machine.
