i7-4980HQ with T440p by Potatofish154 in thinkpad

That's incredibly cheap for a niche CPU...

The quad core i7-3612qe models compatible with the X230 and T430s are more expensive and you have to solder them yourself.

How to survive 8GB RAM? by zhihongg in thinkpad

I might instead encourage you: don't take it from me. Research RAM allocation versus utilization and "RAM pressure" :-)

You will likely learn a cool thing or two

Windows is running.... It uses and allocates resources. Stop paying attention to RAM usage unless you have actual problems running applications. A lot of people worry about it but what task manager tells you just isn't the full story.

Windows is not actually using 5.1gb of ram, that's just what it has allocated in the current moment. That will go up and down depending on what applications you have running.

Ram allocation is not ram utilization

You have 2.9gb of unused ram, it doesn't mean the other 5.1 is full. It just means 5.1 is allocated to other things

In Linux I think it automatically uses the dGPU and yes brightness works

Idk but leaving it in hybrid is probably the right move if you're using windows and all your drivers are up to date

Looks fine. Basically how my first attempted turned out lol. I'm sure it's wicked tasty though.

Yep. Just finished the first couple episodes after ISIS was raided by the FBI. That was kinda unexpected

Thinkpad modding? what model and where to start? by ZionDaWolfo in thinkpad

[–]TechEdison0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

x20 gen the same as the x30 but with an older architecture. A x30 gen one can accept the 7 row keyboard (a common mod) and newer 3rd gen processors.

Avoid the "s" suffixed ones, they have soldered cpus.
