ThinkPad T450 with Core i5-5300U

The ThinkPad T450 is a 14.1-inch laptop built around an Intel Core i5-5300U processor running at 2.30 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3L memory and a 256 GB SATA SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed. The unit is sold as refurbished Grade B and includes an AC adapter.

Thermals and everyday power

Integrated graphics and the low-voltage U-series CPU keep heat output modest during office tasks and web browsing. The SATA SSD has no moving parts, so there is no mechanical drive noise and power draw stays low. The lithium-ion battery benefits from the reduced storage power demand for longer unplugged runtime.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous workloads the dual-core processor maintains its base frequency within the thermal envelope of the ultrabook chassis. The 16 GB memory ceiling is fixed at 16 GB, so heavy multitasking or large media projects will hit that limit. Buyers who need more storage or a discrete GPU should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How do I replace the 2.5" SATA SSD in this ThinkPad T450, and which step do people often miss?

Remove the bottom cover, unscrew the drive caddy, swap the 256GB SATA SSD, then reattach the caddy screw before closing the case — that screw is the step most people forget.

What maintenance will the 16GB DDR3L memory and the Lithium Ion battery need over time?

The 16GB DDR3L is soldered to the limit, so no memory upgrade is possible; the battery will eventually hold less charge and should be replaced with a genuine Lenovo pack when runtime drops.

What thermal limit appears first when the i5-5300U runs at 2.30 GHz for long periods?

The integrated graphics share system memory and hit thermal throttling before the CPU cores do, so sustained loads reduce clock speeds to protect the chip.
