Mobile workstation for demanding tasks

The Lenovo ThinkPad W540 is a 15.6 inch Full HD mobile workstation built around an Intel Core i7-4800MQ quad-core processor running at 2.7 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR3 memory and a dual-drive layout that pairs a 512 GB mSATA SSD with a 1 TB 2.5 inch hard drive. Windows 10 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed on the SSD.

Suited for creators needing legacy ports

This unit suits professionals who rely on an optical drive and a full-size keyboard with numeric keypad in a durable chassis. The integrated NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with 2 GB DDR5 video memory supports professional 3D applications. Buyers who want a touchscreen, a thinner ultrabook profile or a modern high-refresh panel should look at something else.

Dual storage frees the primary drive

The mSATA SSD handles the operating system and active projects while the 1 TB hard drive stores archives and media without crowding the faster volume. An 180 W AC adapter powers the system and charges the battery during heavy workloads. The DVD-RW drive reads and writes legacy media directly. DDR3 memory slots allow an upgrade to 32 GB if the workload grows.
