I would recommend you to use it with GNU/Linux distro such as Manjaro Linux or EndeavourOS. You get more battery life out of this X240 and you could install an Intel Overclock script in order to undervolt the CPU and get even more battery life out of it. I'm using my X240 with an SSD, original Lenovo removable and non-removable battery and I'm getting around 8 hours of battery life while doing some office stuff and web surfing. Also, there is an mSATA to SATA adapter which will allow you to use two mSATA SSD's and the ThinkPad will display those as two separate drives. I don't know what kind of adapter this is since it came with my X240 but there's a model number which says N2510x2
Hey, BrooksyTech! Thanks for the great video. I do like my x240 with i5 4300U and 8 gb of ram, but what upgrades would be suggested by you. I love it, but I need it faster and powerful in 2020, almost 2021. I would appreciate your advice.
Hey, I recently bought an x240 and I was also thinking of swaping the WAN card for an m.2 SSD. My question is: the only think I shoud keep in mind when buing one is that the size be 2242 or there's more to give attention to? Thanks in advance and thanks for the great video!
This was the one I put in. It should be the same size and data interface to work: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KG2KFSX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Really good overview got question ,do you know if x260 have some whitelist when comes to screens? Is it possible for you to share where I can find someone to help me with bios cz I want to mod my future x260 and I really don't want to bother with whitelist (and spending ton $ on proper screen). Tnx !
I'm going to upgrade the WiFi and install the Wi-Fi 6 Intel AX200 network card. Do you know where I can find the BIOS compatible with the AX200 board #ThinkPad X240 Thanks for the video 🤙
HI, I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE SCREEN, MINES IS WORKING GREAT BUT I´M JUST WONDERING WHAT´S THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT LIGHT, BRIGHTNESS, DEFINITION ETC THANK YOU
Sorry, I don't really understand the question. I am assuming you mean resolution and the brightness fuction? I upgraded my screen to be a 1080p screen over the stock 720p screen that comes with most models. But I had to get a custom bios flashed to have it work like stock. If you are just using the stock screen you should be okay!
It would work but pretty slow for program that require a good CPU. I would probably look at a new ryzen laptop if you want something thats going to be faster.
Sorry I don't have a link, it is just a stick of ddr3 ram rated at 1600 mhz. Most ram should work just fine though. If I check cpu-z it says micron made it.
Yes I would probably get an x250 over an x240 if the price is negligible. They are essentially the same, just a different touchpad and slightly better cpu.
Depends on whether you use trackpoint or touchpad. If you cannot live without the trackpoint, then X250. X240 does not have trackpoint buttons, and having the touchpad double as buttons makes using the trackpoint -- pun intended -- pointless. The is a silver lining to this: The die-hard Thinkpad users hate the X240 for this reason. Which is why -- if you are a touch pad user, and do not mind not having the trackpoint -- you can pick up an X240 dirt cheap. I got mine for $75.
Sure, are you talking about what items i used to update the m.2 SSD, wifi, battery? Most of them were purchased from ebay but I can share my search links.
@mark Sorry, I don't have a 4g LTE modem installed. So cant comment on that. I think from factory there was an option for a WWAN modem, not LTE. WWAN is pretty much a dead technology that Sprint used to use. Not sure if the still broadcast wwan though.
Sorry, no you cannot upgrade the gpu on the x240. It only uses intel integrated graphics. I do know that some t440s have nvidia graphics but I believe the chip is soldered to the board.

Hello, very good overview, detailed. But what would you say about battery life? Does it actually last 10 hours or even 20?
thank you for the video, is it difficult to clean the heatsink or change the thermal paste?
also do you know if I would be able to clone the harddrive onto this m.2 SSD or would I have to reinstall windows to it

Definitely get an SSD if you you don't have one and upgrade the wifi to atleast AC.
@@BrooksyTech I didn't know about the AC. Thank you :)

Fingerprint is not working on windows 10. Any help?
It wasn't your hdd, the x240 came with a problem on that slot, it moves, as a consequence affects the laptop
Hi where tu buy such BIOS flasher device - and where to send bios file for mods ?
In mid 2021 what 2.5" SSd would you recommend for X240? And the link for the backlit keyboard is broken. Thank you
And is his CPU 1.5 Ghz when not boosted? How terrible is it?
can you upgrade its gpu?

Hi... Is there a quickway to reset/reformat at factory initial status?
There should be with windows 10. I don't remember how to do it off the top of my head but there should be plenty of guides on youtube or internet.
Is this good for autocad and sketchup?
It would work but pretty slow for program that require a good CPU. I would probably look at a new ryzen laptop if you want something thats going to be faster.
What ram did you use? Is there a link??
Sorry I don't have a link, it is just a stick of ddr3 ram rated at 1600 mhz. Most ram should work just fine though. If I check cpu-z it says micron made it.
@@BrooksyTech is it ddr3 or ddr3l?
Is it good option to buy second hand x240 i7 version now?
Yeah those one are even better!
Does the lenovo x240 have the gpu slot?
Nope, just integrated intel graphics. Some to the T440 laptops have a NVidia gpu I believe.
Thanks. Fam❤
anyone know where i can buy a keyboard like his?
Hi, can it support the Intel AX200 Wifi 6 card?
It might if you mod the bios to be whitelisted for Wifi cards.
I bought the same board, I'm waiting for the order. 😁
So should i buy a x250 then?
Yes I would probably get an x250 over an x240 if the price is negligible. They are essentially the same, just a different touchpad and slightly better cpu.

If you use a mini display port to hdmi adapter yes.

DDR3L low voltage
