Lenovo T450s Ram Slots
In this guide, I’ll be taking apart a Lenovo ThinkPad T450s in order to access and upgrade the hard drive, SSD and RAM.
According to some specification pdf the T450s will be able to run with a 16GB DDR3L memory (instead of the 8GB), resulting in 20GB memory in total. Does anyone has more information on that? Does anyone know what 'available April 2015' means (I dont assume they are changing the hardware)? 8GB Memory Upgrade for Lenovo ThinkPad T450 DDR3L 1600MHz PC3L-12800 SODIMM RAM (PARTS-QUICK Brand).
