High Capacity - Maximize SODIMM capacity for faster gaming and improved workstation performance;Speeds :1600MHz–2400MHzPlug N Play functionality - Installing HyperX Impact DDR4 is easy and hassle-free. It's plug and play and automatically overclocks to the highest frequency published, with no need to adjust BIOS settings.Intel XMP Ready - HyperX DDR4 supports platforms using Intel's newest CPU technologies so you can easily overclock platforms by just selecting a profile and there's no need for manual timing adjustments in BIOSStandard DDR4 1.2V - Gain higher performance while maintaining DDR4's inherent low power consumption. Low voltage draws less power, less heat and offers quiet computing with extended battery life.HyperX DDR4 PnP memory will run in most DDR4 systems up to the speed allowed by the manufacturer's system BIOS. PnP cannot increase the system memory speed faster than is allowed by the manufacturer's BIOS. Memory overclocking is locked at 2133MHz (Skylake) or 2400MHz (Kaby Lake) on all mobile processors except H Series Core i7 processors (i7-xxxxHQ or i7-xxxxHK).
Found this sub while looking for a new laptop to replace my surface pro 3. I'm a Psychiatry Fellow and spend most of my day typing notes while people speak, so a T series keyboard sounded like a good priority. I also do photography and graphic design on the side, utilizing several Adobe CC products, so 8th Gen processor, upgradeable drive/ram, and color accurate screen were essential. Almost went with X1C6, but ultimately, longevity and value (still just a fellow) were more important than portability and brightness. So in the end, the T480 seemed like the best fit (though I really miss having a touch screen).
Below is my custom config ordered during the Black Friday in July sale, followed by my mods:
Ordered specs:
.
Upgrades on arrival:
The screen is beautiful, and I'm digging the anti-glare matte, though my SP3 glossy screen made colors pop more. I installed the calibrated color profile from the notebookcheck.com review of the T480s with what I assume was the same WQHD screen. Here are the instructions I used from notebookcheck.
Replacing the internal components was a breeze, though unfortunately, I watched the Lenovo disassembly video that showed front clips being disengaged with spudger, so now I have a front gap. Also broke a battery compartment clip but whatever.
I installed windows fresh using a recovery flash drive made before swapping in the NVMe drive. I'm fully updated through both vantage and windows update, which took a few hours.
Ultimately, I'm ridiculously happy with this build. The keyboard is a DREAM except for the annoying fn button placement (who thought this was a good idea?). I threw in a Logitech MX Master 2S for desk work, but honestly, this trackpoint is a game changer when I'm working on my lap.
Any other mod suggestions??? Questions??? Comments???

Did you use the 2133 MHz or 2400 MHz? Is ECC memory supported?
For example, which do you recommend?
Hi, I was able to get this config on the lenovo site right now (10/8/19) for $2,306.20 using the 'THINKPADSALE' coupon.
Processor : Intel® Core™ i7-9850H with vPro™ (2.60GHz, up to 4.60GHz with Turbo Boost, 6 Cores, 12MB Cache)
Operating System : Windows 10 Pro 64
Memory : 16GB (8GB + 8GB) DDR4 2666MHz
Hard Drive : 512GB Solid State Drive, M.2 PCIe-NVMe, Opal
Display : 15.6" UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) OLED, 350 nits, multi-touch, AR/AS with Dolby Vision™ HDR 500
Graphic Card : NVIDIA Quadro RTX5000 16GB
Factory Color Calibration : X-Rite Pantone Factory Color Calibration
Pen : Lenovo Pen Pro
Wireless : Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6 802.11AX (2 x 2) & Bluetooth 5.0
Warranty : 1 Year Depot or Carry-in with 1Y Accidental Damage Protection Add On
This the configuration that I purchased (still waiting on shipping - Oct 15). My out the door price was $2,357 (with military discount & eCoupon). My usage also includes ML agents with Tensorflow, Visual Studio 2017/2019, Unity, Blender 2.8, virtual machines (need a MAC OSX VM for uploading to Apple's app store), Docker, and various other software.
I understand the need for a decent CPU. I decided to get the 6 core 9850h because of the RTX5000. I chose not to go for the Xeon because ECC memory isn't necessary for the projects I work on in my off time. The price different between the Xeon and the 9850h is quite large, and the performance gap is quite small (outside of ECC).
The OLED screen is supposed to have 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 100% SRGB coverage, and 100% AdobeRGB coverage (though some reviews have shown the numbers to be slightly lower, but with delta E for less than 2 all around).
I personally believe it is a better value proposition to get the 16GB (8GB + 8GB) configuration with the 512GB storage, then upgrade from another vendor such as Amazon or Newegg. 32GB kits (16GB + 16GB) are currently going for around $130 Amazon Link. A 1TB Samsung NVMe SSD goes for around $170 Amazon link
It should be noted that the RTX5000 that comes in the P53 is reported to be the full non max-q version. NotebookCheck Link
Lastly if you are fine with repasting the CPU & GPU it might lead to better thermal results. I haven't seen anything on the P53 yet, but I did find this for the previous model the P52 Youtube Link. While temps didn't really improve a lot, the CPU was running at a higher clock speed.
Edited to improve readability and add links.
Don't bother with the 16 GB ram or the 512 GB SSD. It's much cheaper to add them in aftermarket. Dell charges you $100 extra to go from 8 to 16 gigs, but a 32 gig DDR4 kit @2400 mhz is only $140 from Amazon. A single 8 gig stick will set you back only $40.
I personally ordered the 6820HK/1070 stock config, and I'll be adding in ram and hard drive space later.
Just an FYI, this kit works: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BNJL8I4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
32GB 2400 CL14 for $143.
Do you have any recommendations for ram? I'm not a tech guy but I hear Corsair Vengeance alot.
Corsair Vengeance 2666mhz
Kingston HyperX 2133mhz
Kingston HyperX 2400mhz
Crucial 2133mhz
Crucial 2400mhz
Which one would you say is the best for the r4 from above? Anything better?
Sorry for all the questions. I see you on a lot of threads and being a mod as well I thought you would be knowledgeable.
Thanks in advance.
Is this the 32GB kit that some people are buying - Kingston Hyper-X ?
It seems to have the best speed and CAS latency combination available. And I wouldn't have paid for Kingston over the other RAM otherwise as I doubt the Kingston Value RAM is any better than what is otherwise provided.
Also for almost as much as the cost to upgrade to 16GB of RAM that I mistakenly chose I can get 32GB Kingston HyperX 2400 memory on Amazon for $148.99

Mismatched RAM is always a bad idea and can cause any number of problems. You should only install identical matching sticks/kits of RAM.
If you only bought one upgraded stick, return it and get a kit:

If you have to do a clean install of Windows, a Refresh might work just as well for you, but you will need to backup your files to an external drive, and reinstall drivers after the refresh is done.

I wonder if this: https://www.amazon.de/HX424C15FBK2-16-2400MHz-288-pin-Non-ECC/dp/B013H7QH86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496823976&sr=8-1&keywords=288-pin+ddr4 would work in the new iMac. It's 288 Pin, 2400MHzEdit: https://www.amazon.de/HyperX-HX424S14IBK2-32-2400MHz-260-pin/dp/B01BNJL8I4/ref=cm_wl_huc_item?th=1 this should probably be it. I guess that the new 27" iMacs have 260 pin.
I'm looking into buying this one by HyperX.
Is this brand compatible and reliable?

At price of USD 250 I would not prefer this, but go for Kingston HyperX with CL14

PS: I brought Corsair same 2400mhz CL16 for 145 USD
So far I have identified Kingston's HyperX Impact DDR4 2400 as having the lowest latency when running at 2400 Mhz, CL14-14-14.

$277 @ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-HyperX-HX424S14IBK2-32/dp/B01BNJL8I4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487264371&sr=8-1&keywords=HX424S14IBK2%2F32
The G.Skill sticks that several on this forum have recommended appear to have a slightly larger latency.
Side question: Is there any reason to get the fancy "auto-overclocking" memory, if neither the speed or voltage can be adjusted on the XPS 15?
These: Kingston Hyper X 2400mhz CL14
It really depends on your use case, but yes it would, still not on par with the MSI's 1.5tb worth of ssd storage. Also good to note: The Ram Kit, was 160 usd new (on sale right now), The 860 Evo is 200 new, and the 970 Evo Plus is 130 new. The used computer had nearly 500 dollars in upgrades in it
