Buddy, your laptop has 2 ram slots, go to Facebook Marketplace and buy 2 Sticks of DDR4 of 8 gb each one My Thinkpad T580 has the same chipset as yours but with 8 gb of ram and is running quite well, and also for that laptop instead of Windows 11 and that RAM Taking, use Linux Mint, it takes less ram. But yeah your main problem is having a 4gb ram stick instead you should upgrade that ram and your laptop is going to be really nice!

It was listed as a non-touch version, but the unit I received has a touchscreen. Shortly after turning it on, the touchscreen started registering constant ghost touches in the center of the screen. I could also feel a slight bubble/elevation on that spot. I'm attaching a video showing the behavior. The weird part is that af

Like Upgradeable and modifiable 2026-03-08
If you want to get the best experience, you should consider 14-inch models gen 1-2, because there were still good keyboards, ram upgrade option in some models and good performance. Three days ago I bought a P14s Gen 2, got 32 Gb RAM, new SSD and Intel AX210 WiFi card. In my opinion ThinkPads should be upgradeable and modifiable. I'm going to change the display soon.

My first ThinkPad T470 I got this ThinkPad from Amazon Rewened because I was looking for one for my studies, and I'm really hooked on this brand of laptop. I don't regret buying it at all. I've even added another 8GB of RAM and a 480GB SSD. It's perfect for what I use it for: Photoshop, Illustrator, Maya, and a few simple games. The only downside is that it didn't come with an internal battery, only an external one, but I'll buy that one later. ThinkPad T470 ThinkPad T470

I'm disabled so need a super light-weight laptop (this one seems to come in at around 1kg which sounds blissful!) so that I can take it places with me.

Mine include a 2.8K display 100%srgb and 120Hz. I paid 900 for it. Had my own RAM and SSD to upgrade.

It seems one of the fans has finally begun its inevitable path to failure. Whenever it spins up higher than 2500 RPM, there's a distinct noise, almost like something is hitting the fan blades. I've popped the bottom cover and cleaned the fan. I also thoroughly inspected it for any possible debris, but as expected, it was completely clear (I regularly clean the cooling system). After

Like Better built machines 2026-02-13
Never shop for anything by brand. Go into a store and handle the laptops physically. You can generally get a feel for the quality by gently twisting the chassis while the lid is closed. Better built machines will have little to no flex when you do this, while crappier machines will have a lot. Also, look at online reviews for the machines. Any laptop brand will make a dud, that’s just how it goes. Find the model of laptop and look up some reviews for it. Thinkpads are generally fantastic machines, as are the vi

Like Most functionalities desired 2026-01-16
Save some money by* getting an used lenovo thinkpad ( possibly an AMD x86_64 architecture system no older than 3rd gen). You will have a stable system that has most functionalities you desire which can occasionally do some gaming like CSGO, Valorant etc. But, if you really want to get a new one, HP doesn't seems so bad. The lenovo should work for you in most cases if you want to save some money for something else like a keyboard/mouse or books or whatever you want to.

Like Better aftersales support 2026-01-15
Get business grade systems, like a lenovo ThinkPad or precision from dell. They generally have better aftersales support and part supply. They might cost a bit lesser than your budget as well, plus I think a core ultra 5 or core 5 would suffice for the workload you've described.
