Background
- A T540p laptop was purchased singly for Norwin upon hire in October 2014. As a single purchase, the laptop therefore does not align with the refresh cycle of all other laptops (managers + IT).
- The 8GB DDR3L RAM and 180GB SSD in the T540p became limiting and an upgrade for both components was approved.
- Manager laptops were upgraded in 2016. Model purchased was the T460s. One T460s became available for use upon departure of a manager.
- The T460s has 8GB DDR4 RAM (4GB onboard, 4GB upgradeable) and a 180GB SSD (SATA, upgradeable).
- All T460s are OEM-licensed for Windows 10.
Upgrade notes
- Norwin has switched to the T460s from the T540p.
- In the process, the RAM was upgraded to 20GB (16GB + 4GB), and the SSD was upgraded to 500GB.
- As per manager endorsement and approval, the laptop will run Windows 10 Pro. Windows 10 Pro was installed, and activation was automatic as - at least according to Windows - the hardware ID had not changed.
- Laptop is domain-joined and now in active use.
- The spare computer and parts (4GB SODIMM and 180GB Intel 660p) are available in the cage.
