Love my inexpensive T480, excellent laptop to upgrade. I have done the following. 1. RAM upgraded to 32GB (2*16). 2. Installed 256GB M.2 Sata SSD in WWAN slot and using as boot drive. Speeds are almost identical to main connector. 3. Installed 2TB M.2 SSD in "main" bay and using for storage. 4. Backlit keyboard 5. Picked up additional removable battery for on the go Future upgrades 1. Renew thermal paste 2. Wifi 6 card
I have a t480 and want to do some upgrades. I would love to learn how you got a backlit keyboard on it. That is one that I really want to do. I do want to upgrade the RAM and install a larger SSD (thinking 1TB max 2TB). But #1 will be a backlit keyboard if I can figure out how to do it.
people said and have success on upgrading it up to 64 gig of ram because during the release of that model 32 gig sticks of ram did not exist on the market yet.
so. 1. ✅ RAM Kingston Fury 2 x 16 GB DDR4 3200 - OK. 2. ❌Transcend 400S TS256GMTE400S 256ГБ, M.2 2242, PCIe 3.0 x4, NVMe, M.2 => NOK📛 (in secondary slot, not into the main one), my device can not even be powered on with it. Because such type of key (M) is not supported, only B (connector of SSD should have 2 cuts, not 1).
Hello sir! Just a question, I was going to buy a crucial T500 2tb to install it. Do you think that is a waste of money or the computer would use the 100% of that m.2? Thanks a lot, amazing video!!
Yes it fits a T480 laptop... usage depends on how you put the load on that memory. NVMe drives can typically deliver sustained read-write speeds of 2.6 GB/s. If you are using editing or coding softwares you can go for it. Do not use it if you are using it for surfing or watching videos.

Hola que procesador tiene tu t480? La mia tiene un i5 8350u y dice que admite ram hasta 2400 mhz, pero mi duda es: si reconocera una memoria ram Crucial de 16gb con 3200mhz de fecuencia(? Espero que puedas responderme
El mío también tiene el mismo procesador. Este procesador solo admite una frecuencia de RAM de 2400 MHz. Si le agregas 3200 MHz de RAM, se convertirá a 2400 MHz debido a la limitación del procesador. Espero que esto te ayude. Si te gusta el video, suscríbete a mi canal.
@@CreativeTechFixergracias por responder, si le pongo de 3200 esto no causa problemas a largo plazo? Sobrecalentamiento, pantallazos azules o algo de eso? tu has probado hacer algo así?
@@maurogutierrez7409No le sucede nada si le pones más RAM y velocidad.... Simplemente será un desperdicio de dinero ya que solo trabajará a las velocidades que permita el procesador.

Por lo general, la computadora portátil usa primero la batería primaria, es decir, la batería interna (muestra la batería 1 en la barra de tareas de Windows). Una vez que la batería se descarga, cambiará a la batería secundaria (muestra la batería 2 en la barra de tareas de Windows), lo que significa batería extraíble.

@@wisdom9651 there are 2 methods to find it out. First method you can check in task bar battery section it will show battery 1 & battery 2, another method remove the bottom housing and find the internal battery compartment. That's it
I would like to buy a T480 as well, but to inquire, is the NVMe slot SATA, so the adapter needs to be purchased separately? And if so, what is it called? Because I can't find it online.
No need to purchase seperately bcz it comes with laptop. Some old T480 models have SATA cable. if your laptop not have this cable you should purchase seperately. Take a look for hdd adapter for T480:- amzn.in/d/5DJ2TQ4 If you like the video please subscribe to my channel.
Yes both T480 and T480s are same spec and features.. T480 has non touch display and T480s has touch display. If you like the video please subscribe to my channel it could be helpful to my channel growth...❤️💛
i have a problem with my battery, battery 1 is not present but battery 2 work properly, what's happening to my external battery it is should be changed or what? idk what should i do. plz answer me🥺🥺
yeah, I am also having the same issue too. Is it need to change the internal battery? I did searched how to troubleshoot the issue, already upgrade the bios it seems not solving the issue. If both external and internal works this would be convenient.
if i am going to upgrade ram,should i find same extract ram module(even CAS Latency should be same )already installed or just use same ram module but without matching CAS Latency?
Buy in local shop they will provide same CAS Latency RAMs.. or you can use crucial brand RAM because this is universal compatibility. But you can match same frequency speed.
Open the back panel and find the CMOS battery (coin cell) then remove the battery wait for a minute then reinsert the battery close the back panel now power ON the laptop BIOS reset successful.

Someday, I'll find myself a T480 and just go crazy with any and all upgrades.
yeah me too someday.
@@ranimungcal I hope you get yours soon.

You can upgrade to 64gb with 2x32gb 3200mhz but it reduced to 2400mhz coz this processor only support 2400mhz
That 2x32GB ram is more expensive than the Thinkpad t480 itself (in Bangkok)
@@techconcepts4you850do can if 32x2 2400mhz ?
I have a T480s. Maxed out the RAM. All done. Great. T480… much more interesting.
