Questions about this item
How loud or hot does the Core i7-4600U get when the X240 runs all day?
The i7-4600U is a 15 W ultra-low-voltage chip, so the fan stays quiet during typical office work and only spins up under sustained heavy load; the carbon-fibre roll cage helps spread heat without becoming uncomfortable.
Which ports and accessories must I already have to use this X240?
It provides two USB ports, a headphone/microphone combo jack and Bluetooth 4.0; you will need any USB peripherals, a wired headset or Bluetooth audio device, and a compatible AC adapter for charging.
Will my older DDR3 SODIMM modules work if I want more than the 8 GB already installed?
The system uses DDR3 memory, so existing DDR3 SODIMM sticks can be added or swapped as long as they match the required voltage and speed for this platform.
