    Hi, I worked for IBM for 21 years as a field engineer and they always gave us the latest greatest laptops, as we were on the road in Asia or South America etc.. The last time I upgraded just before I retired, I had a W500 with 16 gigs of ram and they upgraded me to a W550 with the i7 quad processor and 32 gigs of ram..It was a beast at the time. They told me to keep the W500 and the W550 when I retired.
    I threw some ssds in them with the hot swapable bays and still use both as daily drivers and I retired in 2016. Great laptops, still going strong..I cant count how many times I dropped them om the floor in the airports going thru the TSA checkpoints and they still work like a top..Great solid upgradable laptop.

      Having had a good look inside my T440P when I did the initial build, I have to say, I'm VERY impressed. They implement most of my wishes/complaint points about mobile tech. A good example is pigtailing a lot of the external connectors like power. I've lost count of how many times I've had to reflow/resolder people's power connectors in their laptops. Sure, it's cheap to just solder it on the board, but as soon as someone wants to browse the internet wrapped up on the couch, eventually "It only charges if I hold the cord a certain way". The only thing I can't say I'm a fan of is the DRM B.S. in some of them. None of mine seem to complain about batteries or other wifi cards, but I know lots of people who've had that issue. Overall though, the 440s/440p I have are outstanding machines. Especially now with a good unix on them (BSD). It feels almost too good to be true!

      @@GamingHelp The power ports on Dell laptops seem to be ok for the most part. However the power supply cord tends to fail at the cord plug that goes to the laptop power port. After a while it doesn't matter how you hold the cord. It won''t charge. Fortunately the thrift stores here are full of Dell power cords.

    Put 2x8GB DDR3, a 250GB Samsung 850 Pro, a 1080p LG IPS panel, T450 trackpad, Japanese keyboard and a i7-4700MQ in mine. Overall came to about £330, very good value.

      All in the price is between $400-$500. You won't find a new laptop with even close to these specs for double that. At the end of the day the only missing component is a graphics card but let's be honest, playing high end games that would require a descrete GPU on a 14-15 inch screen is a terrible experience anyway.

The best thing to do with Lenovo laptops is flash a hacked BIOS on it that removes Wi-Fi whitelist, and then upgrade it with the fastest one available. Last one I did, I needed a $10 device to write the new, hacked BIOS.

    Love this video, wish i would have found it before I did most of my T440p upgrades, but I was still able to use your help on the keyboard, processor, and M.2 upgrades. For all you T440p people - something I didn't hear in the video but found out immediately after my CPU upgrade was that the machine now sucks a ton of power! My laptop came with he stock 45w power supply which is not enough to handle all the upgrades. I went ahead and bought a 90w model on Ebay, but a 135w would work great too! Also consider upgrading your battery pack to the extended 9 Cell version for extra life! :)

BUT looking recently, the only t440ps on sale now are base models or overpriced "refurbished" models. If you could find a 4 core t440p for less than 250, you want something to tinker with, dont mind a thiccc machine and are looking for a machine capable of playing skyrim then this would be something to consider, not to mention the prodock and the keyboard.

I've read that guide to modding thinkpads before too, but when I considered the total cost of upgrades, it seemed to me I would rather just buy a used Precision workstation, used latitude or maybe a newer Thinkpad if I could get a good deal with perks and ebates. Might have been a nice touch to tally the total amount of money spent on parts.
    i could see this being a good option for people who just like tinkering projects, and also for people who don't have $500 NOW, maybe only $200, so buy the used t440p, and upgrade it now and then when they see a deal or have the money

    FYI I'm not a noob, used to support these laptops for my job (although I prefer the T430) They are built like little tanks, and FYI, they are not for sale to the public. as I understand, the T series, can only be sold to companies (something like that anyhoo) which is sort of dumb, but there you are....

    I see absolutely no reason to get a thinkpad that's now 5 generations old and put all this effort in. I really like tinkering with stuff. but that's just not worth it. The T470p is just 2 generations old, has lots of power and a way more modern i5 CPU that's at least as powerful as the old i7 if not better.
    Tip for the T470p, you want the i5 because you can't get the i7 without the useless nvidia card.

      You can find a 37W tdp i7 on ebay for less than $100. You don't need a new fan and heatsink either. You just need to find a 37W TDP CPU, since the fan and heatsink are actually spec'ed to handle a quad core i7 with that tdp.
      I haven't installed the m.2 SSD but instead opted for a SATA one and moved the other drive to a caddy in the optical bay that I got for $15 off of amazon. Get a crucial MX500 1TB SSD instead of the kingston. It can be had for cheaper and it's a better SSD.
      LG LP140WF3 SPD1 is a superior display to the AUO one you mentioned. I found it for $45.
      I didn't upgrade the keyboard because I actually prefer the feel of the non-backlit one. I considered buying one and they can be found for ~$20, not $50.

      To be fair, the two ssds eat it a considerable chunk of that price differential. A mushkin enhanced source 3D TLC 2.5" SSD goes for $53 at newegg making this build a much more reasonable $470. With that being said, you can grab a Yoga L380 with an 8th Gen i5, 8gb of ram and a 256GB SSD on ebay for around $400. Thats 1080P IPS, Stylus support and likely, still with a warranty and a T480 isn't far behind pricewise. These mods are fun and that is part of the experience so that part can't be replaced. This, of course, comes from someone who refurbs unusable/broken thinkpads for sale as a hobby. X1 Carbon 1st Gen FHD Mod ala nitrocaster, T440 mod (similar to this video), W540 (screen replacement which is just as easy), and several full W540 full refurbs from junk/parts machines (3 of 4 complete).

    I recently stuck a 4910MQ in my 440P and holy cow does it fly. I benched my 440S against my new 440P build and my video renders are 11 times faster. That's an insane speedup. Only downside is the 4910mq runs hot as heck under full load. I run FreeBSD on mine though and there were tools for controlling pretty much everything. So, I undervolted the machine, did some custom fan curves and that got me MOST of the way there. Eventually, I had to buy some copper plate and then sanded the top surface of the heat pipe to clean copper, then overlaid a piece of 1mm thick copper all the way from the CPU heat spreader all the way to the CPU. It's something like 5-6" long and a couple inches thick and that did the trick. I can't get it to throttle or complain about thermals now and I still get to render my youtube video's at blazing speed. I have two extra 1TB SSD's in there now dedicated as swap too on top of the boot/OS disk. Needless to say, the machine is mister speedy and then some!

    Great video! Another suggestion: Remove the wifi card as it may actually be a nvme x2 port and you can instead insert a nvme drive into the spot. I've done this in the past successfully. Then you can buy a stripped down USB hub, chipset only, and shunt the laptop's internal USB wiring to the hub, with the hub split into 2 outputs, with one being the USB port on the laptop, and the other being an absolutely tiny USB wifi device, again chipset only. You'll need to plan out where to put these 2 extra devices, though this can easily be done by removing the SSD chipset from the drive enclosure and connecting the chipset sans drive enclosure. That'll free up a ton of room for a USB hub + USB wifi. Then simply clip the wifi antenna to the prior antenna wiring.
    Once you do this, you now have a NVMe drive + likely a faster wifi, all for really cheap.

    I did this full upgrade in late 2020 waiting for the right deals and built mine for $600 (512 M.2, 500gb PNY SSD, HyperX Ram 16gb, i7 4910MQ) So to all those complaining about not getting a good deal because of this video "Your Impatient"

    What was the extreme edition CPU that you mentioned, just curious

    • @Montisaquadeis
      @Montisaquadeis 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Andre Bertachini Thinking its the 2 MX CPUS AKA the 4930MX and the 4940MX since those are 57watt parts compared to the 47watt part used in the both the video and the 4980HQ part you listed.

    • @Montisaquadeis
      @Montisaquadeis 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Andre Bertachini Never said it could but the 4980HQ you posted about is a 47watt CPU and its the 2 MX CPUs that are the 57watt parts so the T440p should handle the 4980HQ just fine

      4980HQ is soldered and the chinese PGA converted ones are pretty expensive and hard to get

    My T440p did not come with the integrated camera, so I installed one and it is not working. I have tried numerous driver updates and reinstalled WIN 10 and it still is not working. I am in school and I really need the camera for virtual classes. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

    I recently upgraded my W540 in a lot of similar ways:
    -Re-seated, cleaned and applied Thermal Grizzly to CPU/GPU cooler
    -Upgraded to 32gb of RAM
    -Upgraded to 1TB SSD
    -Installed 3 button touchpad
    If you're interested, I actually did get the Alps touchpad to work with Windows 10:

    Didn't need to upgrade the screen (it was already 3k), didn't upgrade the CPU, already came with a i7-4810, and didn't put an M.2 drive or DVD drive adapter in since the 1TB is plenty storage for me.
