I just bought one for $57 here in the US. Decided to go back to school and wanted something to do schoolwork online sometimes. Almost got a cheap Chromebook. Then saw videos on these and how easy they are to upgrade and I like DIYing everything. Just got a 500SSD for it.
Thanks! Well, unfortunately the T440 has the CPU soldered on to the motherboard. However, the T540p does have a socketed CPU and you can upgrade that to a quad core 4th gen i7. Check out the product specifications: psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/withdrawnbook/ThinkPad_T540p.pdf
I have a question. I tried to game on this laptop I got as a gift for Christmas. But when i played any normal game it couldn't load. It said the GPU is Microsoft Basic Render Driver. What do I do?
What are you trying to play? This laptop will only be capable of lightweight titles or perhaps retro gaming as it will be running on Intel HD 4400, which is a bit long in the tooth in terms of performance in that realm.
I am not sure what the average temps were, but it was far from overheating. It got warm, but that is normal. I also put new thermal paste on the CPU and cleaned out the fan area, which can only help.
Things to consider for each device: 1)CPU 2)RAM 3)Integrated Intel HD 4400 OR NVIDIA GPU 3)SSD or HDD? 5)Display Panel Resolution. I would favor the T440 because I like ThinkPads and the durability/design more than any HP I have used or serviced.
@@HaisteComputerRepair hi, another option came Infront of me in the same price, Dell E6540. Point 5 i.e The display it has is better than the T440. But both have hdd and 8 gb ram. I'm confused too much. Can't make up my mind 😅
@@OllyArtAndCraft Cool, they will be similar in performance. Better display panel is a plus. Go for the Dell if the price is right and it feels like the right thing to do.

@@MegaSebastinoIf it comes with an SSD, great. Or, if you can source one after you purchase. I would definitely recommend this. There will be 4GB RAM minimum as it is soldered on to the motherboard. There is an additional RAM slot that you can access to upgrade as needed.
I would love to, but one has not come my way. I did just service a T440p, but I only filmed a SSD install and applying new thermal paste to the CPU/GPU.

That sounds like a fair price. The T440p has the option to replace the CPU, unlike the T440. So, you could go with an i7 4 core 8 thread CPU some time.

Not really, unless you happen to come across a really good deal. You will really have to manage your expectations if you are wanting to game on a laptop at the same price point as this one.
If it fits your budget and you can't invest in something like a T480 with a 4 core CPU, then yes totally. I am certain you would be able to make it work with the right amount of RAM and an SSD.
If it's only threading in to the laptop casing and NOT the motherboard, you could use an "extractor" bit. I demonstrate this here with an HP laptop: ua-cam.com/video/M8vdp9ua-eo/v-deo.htmlsi=OpXIfPQ5I9ZbXDYM
Do you now if I can find a Laptop Keyboard for the T440? I recently noticed that my "K" & "L" keys are not working and it is very slow to use the on-screen keyboard
12GB of RAM is the max. 4GB is soldered to the motherboard and you can install an additional 8GB stick or 4GB stick. Only 1 x DIMM slot available. I believe 4th Gen Intel did not support 16GB sodimm configurations. 5th gen and up does, to my knowledge.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Hello! Just wanted to know if your T440 also has a problem regarding it's font size (very small font), as I'm facing such an issue on mine, which makes my laptop very irritating to use. Yes, I have tried to increase the font size ( I've also tried to increase the scaling setting which just makes the entire display too big which is also annoying) but that only affects the apps like Google Chrome and not the desktop font size (even my taskbar is quite disgustingly narrow and doesn't take up the usual length of the screen as it does in all the other laptops, if you get what I mean), I've been wondering if it's because my laptop monitor doesn't support the 1920x1080 and higher resolutions or something as such, and I've also thought of installing an older windows version like windows 8 to try and fix this issue. However, if you know any other alternative method to swiftly solve this problem, PLEASE let me know, as it will help my studies quite a lot... many thanks!
@@muichirotokito9486I am guessing you have the 1600 x 900 resolution display panel. Definitely small for a 14" panel. Adjusting size in Windows settings will be your best bet.
@@HaisteComputerRepair Yup, that's my max resolution...and adjusting the size just makes it way too big since I only have 3 size options... but it's alright, I guess I can put up with it for now and maybe get a screen replacement done, or buy a little more recent version of the thinkpad or maybe an ideapad in a bit. Thanks a huge lot though, your reply and video were very helpful.
@@muichirotokito9486 1600x900 is ok on larger displays, in my opinion. But 1080p is much better. I could live with it and be happy, though. I do not believe there is a 1080p option for the T440, but perhaps it can be done. You could always downgrade to a 1366x768 panel without spending too much.
The Windows license was embedded in BIOS, so there was no fee to activate. This might vary depending on where your "used" or "refurbished" laptop comes from. Outside of that, you can always purchase a key from various sites for under $10 CAD or activate using the "massgrave" script published to github. I encourage anyone to research and make an educated decision on how to process with this information.

Great review! I had a question: is the CPU upgradeable or did they stop allowing that with the T430?
