Awesome video I watch so many others but your video is the one that help. Thanks for taking the time to make the video really appreciate you.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, very good video, well detailed!!!!
But, best practices say that you should disconnect the battery to perform this procedure.
What do you think maximum ram capacity?
8gb onboard
16gb extra will eork fine (24gb)
But; 32gb ram+8gb onboard=40gb will not work right?
It's not officaly supported but it works.
Very helpful video....thank you! Can you please confirm that the memory really is running in dual channel mode, such as looking at the memory page of CPU-Z. Since the memory you buy for the SODIMM is unlikely to have the same specs as the soldered memory chips, it is kind of a crap shoot if the memory subsystem will really be able to run in dual channel mode. But if this Crucial memory you bought works for you in dual channel mode, I will try it on my E14 too.
How's your e14 now, do you recommend it?
Shouldn’t you remove the battery and flush the power first
does this Void lenovo's warranty also is there any specific ram that should be used or is any laptop ram with 3200 Hz fine
This is so terrible in comparison to older ThinkPads where you simply had a latch to open for RAM and SSD...
Hey its not so bad. That RAM cover is not fixed with any screw. You can just pull it up.
excellent video: regards!
Hello sir
I'm planning on buying the exact same model, which display type is your laptop?
there are 3 options available in my country
TN panel
IPS ntsc 45%
IPS srgb 100%
TN panel I'm not buying confused between the two IPS
and overall how is the laptop any problems till now ?
I have the IPS 100%. Personally, I'd avoid the TN panel. They're cheaper but the color reproduction isn't as good and it has poorer viewing angles. Either of the IPS panels would be a good choice, the difference between the 2 being their level of color reproduction accuracy. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Hey nice video.
I m looking to buy this laptop but confused between ryzen 5 5500u and ryzen 7 5700u. There is 67$ difference between the two. I am a casual user but looking to keep the machine for long period of time. Will ryzen 5 5500 u do the work for next couple of years or should I go with ryzen 7 5700u.
Is better the 57000u just for 67$
THANKS. IT IS VERY HELPFUL
Thanks for watching!
Will an m2 sata 2280 works in the nvme m2 slot?
after a 1 year of use. how was it?
Hi Ren, it's still my every day laptop. Still feels like the performance is the same. Overall pretty happy, however I do think it's bit bulkier than some of the competition. That said, I think the price to performance ratio is excellent. Good value. Thanks for watching!
@@GizmoJoeReviewsTech what available here in my place is e14 g3 but sadly its a TN panel model. you think its ok?
if i purchase thinkpad gen 3(amd) with 8gb onboard ram and selectable memory to none (by customization) , will it have one extra(free) SODIMM slot? i should not ask this because in the video i can see that it have the extra slot!
Yes you can Update 8gb onboard 8gb-16gb maximum
@@akiraflex thanks!
Hi display scaling are you using? 150% seems off.
The default setting Lenovo sets for this model is 150% because its a 14 inch display that has full HD, so a lower setting might make everything look a bit small for some people. I like it on 100% though because its still ok for me and I like having more screen real estate.
Hey,
I installed 8Gb 3200 Mhz ram but after one day my laptop keep crashing and seeing blue screen. I removed the ram and now I’m not seeing any issue.
I tried with 3 different ram and seeing the same issue.
Ram is good no issue at all. No error in memtest.
Can you help?
Can we add nvme m.2 type ssd?
Is the touchpad good?
if add on correct ram but black screen what shoud be done.
ram spec same as recomended 3200mhz ddr4
Did you fix it?
Can I upgrade with hdd?
Is there any thermal pad for the SSD installed? In the service manual, "Before installing a new M.2 2280 solid-state drive, ensure that the thermal pad is installed properly."
A thermal pad is recommended, however it is not entirely necessary. The thermal pad can ensure that you get the best performance out of your m.2 SSD while under heavy load/high temps. I may install one at a later date, as I did not receive one with the drive I bought. Thanks for watching!
does it work with 32gb and 8gb ram ? Cuz the lenovo official page state that it only support up to 24 gigs but i saw few of them on ebay with 40gb , claimed that it worked
really work bro? i want buy it too
i got it with 3200 cl16 hyper x 40gb no issue at all
Can anyone help me? I want to upgrade my m.2 ssd in my Asus Vivobook laptop. The thing is, I see that many m.2 ssd's come with heat sinks. My laptop is too thin to make an m.2 fit with a heat sink, and the current 128gb m.2 in my laptop does not have a heat sink. Now my question is; Does a 2tb m.2 ssd run too hot to use without a heatsink in a laptop? Should I be looking at a smaller m.2 that runs less hot? Or is the heat of a 2tb m.2 not going to be a problem for a laptop? Thank in advance to any who answer!
Hi Bert, it's important to note the way the m.2 drive connects to your laptop, it will be either SATA or NVMe. NVMe is faster, but with speed comes more heat. I would say most laptops are utilizing NVMe, however most laptops do not have the room for a heatsink. Therefore, if you are doing the upgrade yourself, I'd stick with a Gen 3 NVMe M.2 drive as the Gen 3's don't get very hot and using one without a heatsink should be fine. That said, each system is different and not all parts are made equally, so take what I said as my opinion only. Thanks for watching.
@@GizmoJoeReviewsTech Thanks for your useful advice!
hi, crucial ssd nvme works? and difrencies voltaje 3.3v 2.4A and crucial is 3.3v 1.7A ?
Yes there shouldn't be an issue with crucial. I used a crucial drive in a friends laptop and it works great! Thanks for watching!
Do we need cooling pad etc for SSD?
Could I also upgrade the M.2 2242 ssd? I mean, I will add one M.2 2280 ssd but maybe in the future I also want to upgrade the one installed in the left with the O.S (I don’t mind, I could re-install the O.S after changing it)
Thank you
You should be able to upgrade the 2242 SSD, I would invest in an enclosure that supports 2242 SSDs and clone the original OS drive and swap them over. Thanks for watching!
Can you get 2 2280s in there? Are both 4 lane pcie?
Can you ad a 16 or 32 GB memory or only 8?
No HDD 2.5
Does the new ram have to be the same brand to the factory one?
No it does not. Thanks for watching!
Any way to make 2nd drive boot as drive c?
If you want to boot from 2nd drive I had to remove the internal one.
Also if you use a clone utility make sure you turn off bitlocker first. I installed a crucial 2tb. I then cloned the built-in 256gb to 2nd drive. I found that switching boot order still cause boot from mve0 as opposed to 2nd drive. However I didn't mind having to remove the mv0 drive since it in effect is a fresh factory copy and setup.
So use free crucial clone, shut down and then remove smaller drive. It's possible that if you wiped out the first drive you can get system to boot from 2nd drive. I was not willing to risk messing up the windows install.
I recommend you remove the factory drive and it's a nice fresh install you have in case of some drive or issues down the road.
What screwdriver did you use
Please help 🙏🏾
