My T540p FrankenPad (thelemmy.club)

Some of you might remember the T540p I got for free from work a couple of years back - after its mainboard died I rebuilt my older personal T540p with the the remaining good components and a donor W541 I bought on eBay.

I'm quite pleased with the result. Its revised specs are: i7 4930MX, Quadro K2100M, 32GB DDR3L RAM, AUO B156HAN01.2, an HP Blu-Ray drive and an Intel AX210 WIFI card.

And a few stickers obviously.

The T___P thinkpads were just W series but GeForce instead of Quadro. And why make two computer when 1 good enough? Lenovo does this all the time.

It’s even funnier now because the T16 machines are literally T14 boards with an extension cable for the ports. And the P16s is just a T16 but Quadro.
