Questions about this item
How is the 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD installed in the T480s and which step causes the most trouble?
The SSD sits in an internal M.2 slot that requires removing the bottom cover; the step most people miss is detaching the internal battery connector before lifting the mainboard to reach the slot.
What maintenance will the 16GB DDR4 memory configuration need later?
The 16GB is soldered to the mainboard, so it cannot be upgraded or replaced separately; only a mainboard swap would change the memory amount.
What limit appears first when the i7-8550U runs at 4.0 GHz under sustained load?
The processor hits its thermal ceiling and reduces clock speed to stay within its temperature envelope.
