Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the ThinkPad W541 get when the Core i7 3.20GHz and Quadro K1100M run at full load for hours?

The 15.6 inch chassis uses a single large fan and copper heat pipes; under sustained load the keyboard deck warms to the touch and fan noise rises to an audible but not intrusive level.

Which cables or peripherals must I already own to use the 4 USB ports, FHD display output and Bluetooth 4.0 on this W541?

Standard USB-A devices plug straight into the four ports, an external monitor needs a mini DisplayPort or VGA cable, and Bluetooth 4.0 pairs with any keyboard, mouse or headset supporting that version.

Will my older 1080p monitors and USB 2.0 drives work without adapters on the W541 1920x1080 display and USB ports?

The 15.6 inch 1920x1080 panel drives external 1080p screens at native resolution over mini DisplayPort or VGA, and all four USB ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices.
