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.

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!

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.

Last one I did, I needed a $10 device to write the new, hacked BIOS. 1300 Mbps Wi-Fi. -- I've already done the research, and I have the specific part numbers of the few available cards that will work.

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! :)

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.

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

That's silly. I've upgraded my t440p and paid $320 all together after shopping around. 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 got my T440p with the 730m for about 350$ -i7-4600M (I could upgrade it, but nothing I do on it uses more than 4 threads, and the single core performance isn't worth it) -8GBs RAM -1080p IPS -512GB SSD -Backlit Keyboard The only things I can or will upgrade is another SSD, RAM and the trackpad. Which as you've said is 50$ for the M.2 SSD, and a trackpad is about 15-30$, and probably 80$ for the RAM IF I think that's worth it. I think I'm only going to get a 2nd SSD for dual-booting and maybe the trackpad in the future, so really it'd only cost me

Thanks for the video! I recently had to find a 4 core laptop for a friend cheap so I just looked up the i7 4700m which came up with a few nice laptops. I ended up snagging him an hp zbook which had several nice features as well as feeling very rugged for $200. I7 4700mq, 16gb ddr3 1600 in 4 dims, msata port, 2.5 drive, quadro k1100m mxm card, and 15” screen. I think the 17” version has two 2.5” drive spots plus optical. A 1080p ips panel would look better, but I would stay at 720p for more fps in games. It would be nice to find a 720p ips panel!

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!

IMO the i7-4702mq is the CPU to go for it has the same 37watt TDP as the i5 while still having 4 cores 8 threads. Only downside is a lower turbo boost(3.2 GHZ) the upside is lower power use, less heat, longer battery life. It's a difficult CPU to find but I was lucky enough to find one locally for $90.

Nice video! This exemplifies why myself and others are such Thinkpad fans. They are so well engineered and built yet still upgradeable if you have basic tech skills. My one gripe is their BS with the mini PCIe slots and BIOS lockouts. For example making simple, clean wifi upgrades nearly impossible. But other than that they're great. Ok so this video is awesome but what about the T540p? I assume most of the internal options are similar, but what about the screen? Is there a similarly great, inexpensive LCD panel upgrade for them? As for the touchpad, I almost agree though I generally couldn't care less about the touchpad and usually I disable it because I hate them and I love the Trackpoint. Though I do keep a mouse around for a few specific tasks that require fine pointer control. Like graphics manipulation. I'm not a gamer but I know a mouse is a must have here as well. I've hoarded a few of logitech's older mini laser mice because they do everything I need well. Final note. Why not put the spinning drive in the caddy and the SSD in the master, internal slot? This will reduce the boot delay slightly.
