• 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.

  

• The HD on Thinkpad T430 upgrade, how can I find a compatible drive? Looking for 1 TB 7200 RPM

  Hi, I recently got a T430 renovated and well, I just love and want to invest in an upgrade to 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM

  I read the specs here but other than:

  • High, 320 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA 3.0 GB/s 7mm
  • 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 7mm or 9.5 mm high SATA 3.0 GB/s
  • 1 TB, 5400 RPM, 9.5 mm high SATA 3.0 GB/s

  It is really not a lot to spend when buying a new hard drive. (totall rookie at this, so please be nice)

  Are all HDDs OTC market you today my machine? I have read discussions on the Bay in my entirely appropriate machine HDs 7 mm and 9.5 is a stretch and could adversely affect the connection to the motherboard. You can link me to a schematic page? I am looking for part numbers, which would help.

  Here are some HDs I consider, how do I know if they will fit ok? Comments are appreciated. I can watch videos on gootube how swap, this part is easy.

  Currently dual boot win 7 pro and ubuntu 14.04 and I've pretty much mukked to the top of the 320 hd with partitions before I knew any better. Nothing on the drive is special, I might as well do a clean install or restore backups. Which do you recommend?

  I would replace the hd in 9.5 mm slot?

  PS, none of the disks hybrid work in the T430?

  Thank you!

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  For reference, take a look at the FRU T430 parts list: https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/t430_t430i_fru_bom_20140722.pdf

  There is a section for each: 7 mm/2.5 "" SSD and 7 & 9.5mm/2.5 ' hard drives, which were offered with the machine. "

  Hope this helps your search a little.

• ThinkPad E455 - update graphics card?

  I have the same question. The MTM on mine is 20-001PUS. It has a R4 and there is no linux drivers that work with it.

  Good day and welcome to the community.

  There are no graphics card to upgrade. The components are soldered to the system board.

  To improve the graphics, you must exchange in a different motherboard. See the section PLANARS of the FRU BOM to see the possibilities: https://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/e455_fru_bom_20150331.pdf

  Hope that clarifies.

• MDT 2013 Thinkpad Yoga 12 - WinPE boot problems

  We have two models of Thinkpad Yoga and use the same ethernet USB dongle to run MDT and their image with Win 8.1.

  Type 20 c 0 works very well. When we arrived the 20DK of a new type, we had some problems with our image of fat because of the different hardware profile and we weren't using a configuration of total control for drivers on our MDT.

  I created a new MDT installation on a virtual machine and I use the method of total control of the management of drivers by model. I have a profile of selection for winPE and imported the drivers of storage and network for both models (x 64 only, we don't have any x 86). I tried initially the USB3 Ethernet adapter driver I found under downloads for the 20 c model 0 but have tried since the upload of pack pilot SCCM and other I found specifically for the adapter realtek and SCCM, but nothing has changed. The current versions of pilot in my winpe folder are 8.15.0701.2014 and 8.8.0911.2013. Have updated the deployment share, copied the contents of the x 64 folder and copied the litetouchx64.wim in the sources on our USB startup folder and renamed to boot.wim.

  Currently on the 20DK I get the initial screen for MDT spash with blue background, but before any connection charges of screen I get the blue screen of crash with error (ndis.sys) System_thread_exception_not_handled. I guess I do know for sure that it is a problem of network driver but because it fails before the same connection to the deployment share it led me to believe that this was the case. I tried to turn off 3 USB mode in the bios to see if this will have an impact, and he didn't.

  The 20 c 0 still works fine and I was able successfully to the image (from my old wim of fat that I copied from my old server mdt)

  Completed up to add all the drivers for this model in the folder of WinPE drivers and who took care of her.

• Card memory ThinkPad E540. Which one to buy?

  Hello!

  I am owner of a 00HFR of 20 6 E540 which came with a card memory made by Samsung (4 GB) (4 GB 1R8PC3L - 12800 S-11-13-B4 M471B5173 EB0 YKO 1432 says on the label)

  I would like to increase the amount of available memory, but the cheapest way. So I have a couple of options if I'm not mistaken:

  Buy a 4GB module pair with the existing, for a total of 8 GB.

  Buy a module of 8 GB for a total of 12 GB.

  If I'm not mistakent, the option are possible, but the 8 G module will be less good preformance over the same module size in both slots.

  I have a few questions:

  Which module should I buy: Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, G. Skill? (Here is the brand my dealer sells)

  I would be very happy to get a P/N for options 4 and 8 GB.

  Thank you very much in advance for your help and response.

  I'd say go with the configuration 4 + 8GB. Any generic 8 GB DDR3L 12800 S should work (avoid even if Corsair; there were a few problems with it and ThinkPads in the past).

• ThinkPad A30p Type 2653, how much memory can it really take?

  My Thinkpad A30p Type 2653 has two memory slots with one of the modules of 512 and 256 installed. I use Windows XP Pro now and see that when using a web browser and scroll up and down to its very slow and moves in small increments. I suspect a memory and you want to add more. The problem is that I get conflicting reports on the memory capacity. Someone told me that I am limited to a total of 1 GB. Someone said that memory today is different than it was when the A30p was manufactured for only 1 GB was max at the time, using memory modules today, I can paste it into two 1 GB modules.

  The real story on does anyone know?

  Thank you.

  The maximum RAM for A30p is indeed of 1 GB, since

  (a) the chipset limitation is 1 GB

  '

  (b) the largest SODIMM PC133 is 512 MB, as it was at the time when these babies were new.

  That said, any A30/p runs XP with 1 GB of RAM if you understand the limits of the machine when it comes to today's software. You can change a little operating system for best performance.

  Good luck.

• ThinkPad x 240 - Fn keys Mute and Microphone are lit, TP does not turn

  Hey, the team.

  It has been 24 hours since I discovered my thinkpad does not turn.

  I used this last Saturday afternoon and stops completely.

  Never, I put my TP in sleep or Hibernate mode.

  When I woke up yesterday, 11:00 I discovered keys Fn, Mute and Microphone are lit. The fan does not work (the whole system is off). The laptop temperature is normal, not hot or warm as it is used.

  I removed the external battery and power adapter, press the power button for more than 3mins., replace the battery and plugged in the power adapter (the power button blinks when I plug in the power adapter as it usually does when) and pushed the power button - nothing happens.

  The Fn keys, mute, and Microphone are still on and the TP does not turn.

  I have not pressed the emergency at the back reset button (I'm afraid I might lose all my files).

  So far, the same 3 - keys are turned on.

  I need help as soon as possible.

  RESET button at the back does not affect the disk hard one will interrupt the internal battery and make it portable completely empty of power, making what button or something like that.

  Another topic of your own, it could be 1. Firmware BIOS hung himself to act in same condition all the time, so the only option is to open the laptop and unplug the CMOS AKA motherboard BIOS battery and leave it for like 15 minutes then reconnect it and see if it is still silent originally and the fn button to stay lit, otherwise connect other batterys and the AC adapter / CC and press the top I hope that powers on as usual since a few times BIOS can hang itself which means laptop is totally turned off until you kill the bios firmware completely.

• Need help with reset factory for Thinkpad X 40

  Hello

  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X 40-2371, I want to get back to its factory settings. It doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, so I can't use a recovery CD. Operating system is Windows XP Professional. I tried to use the "Access IBM" and buttons "F11" to see if I can find any option of restoration of the factory, but there is none. Advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the forum!

  It seems that the recovery partition is missing or damaged in total. You will need to get an external multimedia drive and install the OS from scratch.

  Good luck.

• T400 suddenly won't boot beyond the ThinkPad splash screen

  .. .only visible indicator of a problem is that the drive activity light on the bottom of the screen stops ignition etc when the ThinkPad splash screen appears. No bumps in the system, no unusual activity to suggest physical damage to computer laptop or disk - started very well in the morning on the desk, would not restart from the same location on the office after lunch. System also won't start on a bootable system disk (but you can hear the drive access). System is less than one year.

  I solved my problem: Lenovo Service Center for repair under warranty here a diagnosis nor a bad mother and a bad battery, due to abuse of the handling, etc. the computer could suffer (it seemed to be a factory default). No indication as to whether one or the other 'bad' component caused the other to fail. in total 48 hrs to repair, most of the waiting time for a new motherboard coming in the night. No charge to me for what it is. Life goes on.
