Mobile workstation for CAD and engineering

The Lenovo ThinkPad W540 is a 15.6-inch mobile workstation built around an Intel Core i7-4800MQ quad-core processor running at 2.7 GHz with 8 GB of DDR3 memory. It targets professionals who need certified graphics drivers and a durable chassis for field or office use.

NVIDIA Quadro K1100M with 2 GB DDR5 VRAM

The discrete NVIDIA Quadro K1100M card provides 2 GB of dedicated DDR5 video memory alongside Intel HD Graphics 4600. This GPU decides whether the laptop can accelerate professional 3D applications; it is not suited for modern gaming or heavy compute workloads.

1 TB hard drive and 180 W adapter included

A 2.5-inch 1 TB hard drive stores the Windows 10 Pro installation and project files while the supplied 180 W AC adapter powers the 47 W TDP processor. The chassis supports up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory for future upgrades but lacks an SSD and modern high-speed interfaces.
