Questions about this item
Does this laptop need any extra parts to run Windows 11 Pro out of the box?
No. The unit ships with 16GB DDR5 RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD and Windows 11 Pro already installed, so it boots to the desktop without additional hardware.
Will my older USB-A accessories work with the Thunderbolt 4 ports on this ThinkPad?
Yes. Thunderbolt 4 ports accept standard USB-A devices through a simple adapter or hub, so existing keyboards, mice and drives remain usable.
How can I confirm the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H is reaching its 5GHz turbo speed after setup?
Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab and watch the CPU frequency readout while running a heavy load; it should show speeds up to 5GHz.
