Mobile workstation with i7-4800MQ

The Lenovo ThinkPad W540 is a 15.6 inch mobile workstation driven by a quad-core Intel Core i7-4800MQ processor at 2.7 GHz. It comes with 32 GB of DDR3 memory and a 1 TB 2.5 inch solid-state drive. The 1920 x 1080 anti-glare display and NVIDIA Quadro K1100M graphics with 2 GB video memory target professional CAD and design users.

Suits engineers needing certified drivers

This configuration suits engineers who rely on ISV-certified Quadro drivers, a full-size keyboard with numeric keypad and a DVDRW drive for legacy media. Buyers who want a thinner chassis, longer battery life or a touchscreen should look elsewhere, as the W540 prioritises durability and expandability over ultraportability.

Quadro K1100M with 2 GB DDR5 video memory

The single specification that decides fit is the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M GPU equipped with 2 GB of DDR5 video memory. It provides certified OpenGL performance for professional 3D applications, but lacks the compute throughput required for modern GPU rendering or deep-learning workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the 15.6" 1920 x 1080 anti-glare display work with an older docking station that only has VGA or DVI outputs?

The W540 includes VGA and Mini DisplayPort outputs so it can drive legacy monitors or projectors directly without a docking station; the internal panel is a non-touch FHD anti-glare screen.

How can I verify the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with 2 GB DDR5 is active after installing drivers?

Open Device Manager and confirm the Quadro K1100M appears under Display adapters alongside Intel HD 4600; run the NVIDIA control panel to see the 2 GB dedicated video memory and driver version.

Does the box contain the 180 W AC adapter and DVDRW drive mentioned in the listing, or must I buy them separately?

The genuine 180 W AC adapter and an internal DVDRW optical drive are included; Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed on the 2.5" 1 TB SSD so no extra parts are required for basic operation.
