Altogether I think I spent around $350 on my T440p. $100 for the laptop itself and then another $250 for RAM, SSD, i7 processor and IPS display. I was fortunate enough to get my Thinkpad out of a corporate environment where it had been babied most of its life (cosmetically it was near immaculate) and came with a 9-cell battery that still had about 78% capacity and the AC charger.
I love your channel so much man. I have had a T420 for two years and had no idea I could upgrade it until I found your channel. Cant wait to start dumping money into it! Thanks for the great videos.
I got mine for 150 Canadian with 8GBs and an i5 2540M. It also came with a docking station which is awesome. I will probably max out the ram and maybe get an ExpressCard USB 3 adapter. Other than that it runs great with Linux.
My t420 is almost maxed out it has a 1080p screen with controller 16gb ram i7 2760qm blu ray drive plus its the version with the graphics card onboard finally an extended battery and im working on getting a cad card. The only issue im coming across isnt finding the reader but also the card slot for the side is almost impossible to find. I upgraded the wifi card to a wireless N and i upgraded the bluetooth module. But my T420 is pretty much maxed out for every possible combination minus the cad card reader.

Very nice! Yeah the one I purchased wasn’t too beat up, was just missing a couple things. :)

Wow! Really nice. Once software becomes more intensive in the future you might want to get a 3rd gen i7 with coreboot
What is your T420 type? I have a 4236 and did not know it could go to 16gb. Have you thought about adding an msata drive?
I have a 4180. Have not thought about adding a msata drive, the current 1TB SSD is more than enough for my usage. :)
happy days!
thanks. :)
Dam so much money for that amount you can get a current thin and light with faster specs

It's a hobbyist machine isn't it?

Mine didn't come with any Bluetooth functionality. Is that normal for a t420?
Im also running dual hard drives through the Msata I have my os and on the hard drive bay I have a 256gb ssd.
What song is that on the intro
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure. 🙃
Ievan Polkka, it’s a folk song.
what fps do you get?
About 1/4 the price of a brand new laptop and just as powerful if not more so, and far more unique.
😃
Just bought my first T420. Coming from a shitty ole HP.
Enjoy the journey
