Questions & Answers

Jeff M : Does this model have the backlit keyboard ?ANDREW R : Keyboard is not specified as backlit.
Shopper : does this laptop have a hdmi port ?WILLIAM L : No, my configuration did not have HDMI. Nor a fingerprint reader, which I mistakenly thought it had. This laptop can come in many different configurations, so check your specs carefully. The low price I got was likely due to the missing items. Overall, a good deal, but if you have specific requirements read the tech specs.

Rated 5 out of 5

Best build quality of any laptop even macbook air's!

I have always used thinkpads. This redesign is such a hit with my fellow workers and I that we actually bought all that the store had. You will love the new keyboard trackpad layout. So much fun to use. I still can't believe the build quality. Built like a tank and will last for decades. Upgradable too!!

The ThinkPad T540p features a glass-fiber reinforced plastic body for a portable yet durable design.

The 15.6" widescreen display is backlit with LED lamps, which brighten faster, use less power and last longer than their CCFL counterparts. The screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio, which is also the standard for HDTVs. The HD 1366 x 768 native resolution is supported by integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600. The native resolution allows you to play back 720p HD content without upscaling.

The system is powered by a 4th generation Haswell dual-core 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5-4200M processor. It also has 4GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM, a 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive, a SuperMulti DVD burner, a 4-in-1 media card reader, a fingerprint reader, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, an integrated webcam and microphone. There are also built-in stereo speakers with Dolby Advanced Audio v2 technology.

Dual-Core 4th-Gen Haswell Intel Core i5 Performance
The Lenovo ThinkPad T540p houses a 4th generation Haswell Intel Core i5-4200M processor. Its dual cores can reach a stock speed of 2.5 GHz. The processor can also be overclocked up to 3.1 GHz, thanks to Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The 4th generation Haswell processor uses low voltage to extend battery life without sacrificing performance. With a dedicated 3MB L3 cache, 4GB of 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM and Intel Hyper-Threading technology, you'll be able to push the dual cores up to four virtual cores for quick and efficient multitasking

4G/3G Connectivity
Connecting to 4G and 3G wireless networks is simple with a pre-installed SIM card and the easy-to-use Lenovo Access Connection tool.

15.6" HD Antiglare LED-Backlit Display
The display also features a 16:9 aspect ratio and has a 1366 x 768 native resolution, powered by integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600. The native resolution allows you to play back 720p HD content natively without upscaling.

You can also output video to an external display via the Mini DisplayPort

Wireless Connectivity
The Lenovo ThinkPad T540p supports 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, which provides a high-speed connection to your home or office wireless network. There is also Bluetooth 4.0 technology for connecting to Bluetooth-compatible devices, such as a wireless mouse

USB 3.0 - 10x Faster than USB 2.0

Ultradurable and MIL-SPEC Tested
The T540p meets eight US military-spec tests for ruggedness, durability and quality: high pressure, humidity, vibration, high temperature, temperature shock, low pressure (15,000 ft), low temperature and dust. In addition, innovative roll-cage technology and glass-fiber reinforced plastic add extra strength and rigidity.

Dolby Advanced Audio v2
A suite of audio technology from Dolby delivers a crisp, clear cinematic surround sound for music, movies, games and more. Hear every detail clearly and experience the full impact of your entertainment anywhere.

VGA Port
A VGA port for projector connections in conference rooms is still a business must-have and a native VGA means no dongles to buy/lose/replace.
