Whether it works with the T480s or any laptop is unknown. So you release a 4k adapter and hide the 30Hz somewhere and slap a USB 3.0 port on it to appease your buyers (many of whom have a dire need for those since Apple dropped USB A ports). Second, a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converter are obviously more expensive. There is double pressure on just providing HDMI 1.4: first, if you only use two high speed lanes out of the four in the USB C connector for DisplayPort then it is indeed enough only for 1.4 but then you can add a USB 3.0 A port (in fact, it could be a 10gbps USB port but due to more expensive cabling it is almost always 5.0gbps). Noone has a fucking clue whether laptops support HDMI Alternative Mode but that's by and large irrelevant since all USB C to HDMI adapters use DisplayPort Alternative Mode and then throw in a DisplayPort-to-HDMI converter.

#MAC HDMI ADAPTER PIECE OF SHIT MANUALS#
Mirror of Hardware Maintenance Manuals for discontinued models Lenovo Windows Digital Download Recovery Images Lenovo Parts Removal and Replacement Videos (select ThinkPad tab) Specification guides for discontinued models (all the way back to 1992!) When reinstalling Windows, try the Lenovo disc images, as longer battery times have been reported, probably due to custom drivers. A can of compressed air may be useful too, and a bottle of isopropyl alcohol and cotton buds are good for cleaning, but not on the screen. The only tools you need for servicing a ThinkPad are a set of small screwdrivers and a nylon spudger (for taking the screen and keyboard bezels off), and possibly a pair of tweezers. Corporate bulk purchasers don't usually go for it. Not only will it have better brightness, colour, contrast and viewing angles - you will most probably more than make up the investment when selling it.
When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much.

When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated. For IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop enthusiasts.
